HURRICANE ALERT! PLEASE CROSSPOST! CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!
Aug 29, 2008

Focus:Animal Welfare
Action Request:Volunteer
Location:Louisiana, United States

HURRICANE ALERT! PLEASE CROSSPOST! CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!

ARNO (Animal Rescue New Orleans) is on ALERT as of 6pm CST Wednesday, August 27, by Homeland
Security. This is a call for all willing and able-bodied volunteers to
be on ALERT and ready to be in New Orleans no later than Saturday a.m.

This is a call for pre-disaster ARNO volunteers to assist with
pet/people evacuation, for residents of Orleans Parish who have pets
with no transportation out of the city. There were an estimated 50,000
(pre-Katrina) citizens with pets who needed this service. The current
number is approximated at 25,000. This includes 'special needs' humans
with their pets.

The alert is also in effect for Volunteers needed PRE- and
POST-PET/PEOPLE EVACUATION at ARNO's shelter in Jefferson. ARNO's evac
plans are to take effect AFTER evacuation of parish residents. IF
there is need for the shelter to evacuate, we will be using state
highways out of town, not the interstate, so contraflow will not
effect our evacuation.

Anyone who can volunteer for either or both situations, please send an
EMAIL to disastervolunteer@ cox.net (disastervolunteer @ cox.net)
Include your name, address, city/state, contact phone (cell), and area
of service preferred, i.e. animal handler, animal care,
clerical/processing , logistics/communica tions, driver/w or w/o
truck/van, and/or any special skills.

Volunteers will receive all updates as soon as we have them via email.
If you are coming from out of town via airline service, we will pay
particular attention to make sure you are alerted in the case of any
cancellation due to change of course of TS Gustav, including by cell
phone. Remember you can also fly into Baton Rouge, LA, 90 miles
northwest of NOLA.

If you can come, or are here for the Katrina Memorial festivities,
please know that, AT THIS TIME, the city is preparing to be evacuated
and we will conduct the pet/people evacuation at least 72 hours before
landfall with the Louisiana SPCA. Since ARNO has decided (because of
our position on the outskirts of Jefferson Parish) to evacuate, in
effect, last... we may be able to avoid evacuation if the storm's
36-hour out prediction has it making landfall east of Louisiana. If
the storm is predicted at 36-hours out to be west of Louisiana, it may
still mean evacuation because we will be on the wet side of the storm,
i.e. gulf and lake waters drawn into the city overwhelming drainage
facilities if accompanied by large amounts of rain from the storm.

God bless us all, keep the animals and the people safe!

p.s. please solicit fellow animal lovers for even a small donation to
help us with preparatory expenses, i.e. gas, food, and extra supplies.
