Katrina woke us up again. Since 9/11 most of our efforts have been focused on terrorism, and it's time to start thinking we have natural disasters, too. |
Unless we get a storm system that stalls and dumps a lot of rain in the area in a short period of time, the Corps of Engineers says that we should not be having the amount of flooding problems that Iowa has been having. |
We are trying to get a feel for what is available. We are not going to run shelters for a long time. We are going to try to get people into housing options, or FEMA may try to get them back to their home states. |
We will be contacting local government and the Red Cross. I really don't know how soon. |
