http://www.dosomething.org/project/updates/feed/335195 The updates for a given project en http://www.dosomething.org/actnow/project/emergency-shelters-our-community/updates/project-update <p>We created a poster using our community maps to show where the Red Cross shelter was. Since there is only one in Presque Isle, we included another map showing where potential shelters will be if needed. Then we added a map of the nearest community in case we had to evacuate the city. Another map showed where the National Guard could set up a staging area with room for a helicopter. This location also includes a hand pump so water will be available if the water plant is affected.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/actnow/project/emergency-shelters-our-community/updates/project-update">read more</a></p> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:03:17 -0500 AJEPS 428882 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/actnow/project/emergency-shelters-our-community/updates/project-update-0 <p>We set up our display at the Aroostook County Fair for a week in the 4-H exhibit area. They estimated 1000+ people a day attended the fair so we think at least another 1000 people got the information by stopping by. We had our handouts (what is left of them), information from the Red Cross and FEMA. We won a ribbon but that wasn't the important part of the display.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/actnow/project/emergency-shelters-our-community/updates/project-update-0">read more</a></p> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:03:51 -0500 AJEPS 441131 at http://www.dosomething.org
