Hurricane Katrina Updates: Lone Star State Incident Management Team
We had a call today from Laura Pravatt with Texas Forest Service, assisting at a Receiving and Distribution Center in Hammond, Louisiana. They are helping service the needs of people in three Parishes heavily impacted by Katrina, including part of the New Orleans area. She is part of Texas' Lone Star Incident Management Team. Because we may also have Forestry employees in the vicinity, she provided a website link and telephone number (985.340.0157) for those who want to check up on the local situation or track down additional information. On this website, link to the Lone Star team to the right of the screen. This link has photos and a daily summary of activity. Kurt Atkinson
