Philadelphia and Katrina
www.phila.gov/katrina is the city's site for Philadelphia relief efforts (although little is on there right now). Here is information that might be of interest to some of you from the site:
"Our local area Red Cross is a national call center for victims of the hurricane and is receiving hundreds of calls each day. The callers are devastated and asking for our help to guide them to shelters and other critical services.The call center needs experienced operators and data processors to staff the call center from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM seven days a week. The call center is at 23rd and Chestnut Streets. The Red Cross will provide parking, food and training. Call 215-299-0495."
According to this morning's Inquirer, 600 refugees are being flown in today. A vacant school (Wannamaker School) at 1701 N. 11th Street and the Palumbo building at 11th and Catharine are being turned into temporary housing.
