GA Flood Relief Update

Katrina’s Angels (KA) and our partner, Neighbors Across the Land Disaster Relief and Recovery (NATLDRR), are working together on flood relief in the Atlanta, GA area. You can follow us here or on twitter or facebook as the groups work together to clear debris from houses and deliver supplies to flood victims.

Response Coordinator Greg Conklin (of NATLDRR) is currently in the Atlanta area. Here is his latest tweet: Georgia ground is very saturated and cannot hold more water. Not expected to dry out until spring time because this is the wet season. ~Greg

It seems a few more inches of rain fell on the Atlanta area yesterday, and half the the state of GA under flood watch or warnings and included a tornado warning in south part of GA. He also tweeted Parts of GA received up to 5 in. of rain. Our help is needed now more than ever!

Greg is in the area to clear debris and deliver supplies and generally just help people out. Supplies he has include the following from Katrina's Angels: 1 case of markers, 2 cases of school glue, 1 case of composition books, and 25 reusable KA tote bags filled with personal supplies such as personal hygiene items, coloring books, crayons, hand sanitizer, and other items to be given out to those in need (one per family).

Hands-on volunteers are needed. These people cannot do this alone. If you can, please sign up here: http://www.katrinasangels.org/Volunteers.asp and someone will contact you as soon as possible.

Fundraisers and donations are needed as our coffers are low. We will be very grateful for any help you can give us. Even $1 helps!

Thank You!
