(Jackson, Miss.) September 1, 2005 - Mississippians and people across the world are asking about how to volunteer to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
PROFESSIONAL SEARCH AND RESCUE VOLUNTEERS
Professional search and rescue volunteers must contact MEMA Search and Rescue Support at 601-360-0937 to receive credentials allowing them to pass roadblocks.
PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS
Please contact the following:
Nurses:
Miss. State Board of Nursing
Delia Owens
601-497-8022
Physicians and EMT?s
Miss. State Board of Health
601-576-8085
NON-PROFESSIONAL VOLUNTEERS
At this time we are working to improve access into affected areas, and establish food, water, shelter and sanitation. Once that is completed, we will be able to deploy volunteers.
Please contact volunteer organizations such as your local Red Cross, Salvation Army and local churches. The National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) group will work with these organizations to coordinate volunteer manpower.
Once it is safe, hopefully in the next few days, we will have a reserve of volunteers that we can put to best use.
