Jonesboro:
Shelters
&
Services
for
Evacuees |
Both
Mayor Formon
and Judge
Haas,
in a effort
to prepare
for the
possible
arrival of
Katrina
evacuees,
authorized
Police,
Sheriff, Fire, 911, and
the
Community &
Economic
Dev.
Depart. to
"do whatever
is necessary
to care for
those who
seek refuge
in our
City."
Our citizens
rallied: A one
stop service
facility
of service
providers was
established
(see below
for
details).
All medical
providers
banded
together to
provide a 24
hour
hotline -
answered by
RN's. Over 2,000
of our
Northeast
Arkansas
citizens
took the Red
Cross
Volunteer
certification
course in
order to
serve in any
capacity
needed.
Donation &
distribution
centers
sprang up
all over the
City of Jonesboro
and all of
Northeast
Arkansas .
The
outpouring
of caring is
tremendous
as we
help those
in our care in
every way
we possibly
can.
