Mac - it is a very short process to get FEMA and the REDCROSS or Salvation Army involved. Contact me offlist for details - You do not need to be footing this bill, not necessary at all. FYI - All of these refugees must register with FEMA immediately via the internet.

We do not have FEMA or the Red Cross anywhere in our area. If we did I would not be doing what I am doing. It has been left up to "whoever will" to stand in for these folks. If Part15 will send somebody to this area with what is needed I say lets send it to them, but if they arent coming HERE in my local service area where I see all these needs - - I say ship it to me and I will put out there for their use. What I see needs to be tended to TODAY - - not held up in some bank account until you reach a dollar amount goal. To the moment we have received $1000.00 in funds and I want to thank all of you for that - - - - GEORGE that $300.00 has already made it - - GOD BLESS I know of a family sitting in a shelter right now that does not have the money to buy the wifes diabetes medicine - - - - well, now she does!!! She will have it before 10:00am this morning and they will know that WISPA.org has stepped up. http://65.82.69.13/photo/explorer.php?folder=Evacuees/ (Weds pics) http://65.82.69.13/photo/explorer.php?folder=evacuees2/ (Thursday w/voip setups) Thanks Y'all -- Mac Dearman Maximum Access, LLC. www.inetsouth.com 318-728-8600 - Rayville 318-303-4229 318-303-4231 318-450-4349 - Monroe, La 318-303-4227 - NOC John Scrivner wrote: > One of our WISPA members, Mac Dearman, has already setup VOIP, > Internet, food and shelter for evacuees, He is doing this right now in > Louisiana.
