[Community-service] Disaster resources

[Michelle Clark]

This is great information. Thanks.

Since I am no longer available to meet, I am wondering if a project has been
decided upon. Perhaps the idea of using toiletries as was mentioned before
and contributes them to some type of disaster relief that will not cost much
money to deliver them. Perhaps, since we often get assistance from FedEx or
UPS at Conventions, they can help with delivery. It's a stretch but worth
the thought. With the way things are going, I am certain there will be
something that our efforts can go toward from what is collected at
Convention.

Hi all,
  Chris posted  a very  interesting topic that had me thinking a little bit.
 A couple of days   later, I was going through some messages from  a
while back, and found one from  a friend of mine who works at the
americorps campus I worked out  of. She had  passed along a link to me
related to   disaster  prep and  responce and I wanted to share it.

"Below
      is the link to a website that has a lot of disaster preparation
resources,
      including Fema programs and local emergency management centers.
There is a
     website link followed by a descriptive paragraph.
