News from Congressman

Chet Edwards

HURRICANE KATRINA INFORMATION AND RELIEF EFFORTS 

Friends,

Our deepest condolences go to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, who lost their lives, their homes and their livelihoods. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families.

While the devastation caused by this tragedy is vast, our faith, tenacity and determination ensure that we will rebuild and we will endure. I am confident that the American spirit of generosity will prevail in the days, weeks, and months ahead, as Gulf Coast communities come together and our American family from coast to coast provides assistance. Together, federal, state and local authorities will continue to work diligently to protect and assist those in need. 

For your convenience, I have included information below, also available on my website at www.edwards.house.gov, about Hurricane Katrina, links to organizations that are helping provide relief, and how to obtain disaster assistance.

                                                                                                                                                 Sincerely,

                                                E

                                                                                                                                                Chet Edwards
                                                                                                                                                U.S. Representative

I too am willing to help anyone with pets who needs a place to camp out.  I

****Many families are forced to evacuate and are unable to take their

pets. The American Humane Association rescues and cares for these

animals until they can be reunited with their families.

***Noah's Wish
What Is Noah's Wish?

Noah's Wish is a not-for-profit, animal welfare organization, with a

straightforward mission.  We exist to keep animals alive during
disasters.

Noah's Wish is always prepared to help animals in the following ways.

Precautionary Evacuation of Animals

Noah's Wish will mobilize volunteers to help evacuate animals when

people are being told to prepare for possible evacuations.  It is really

important at this point to move large animals out of the area as well as

large numbers of animals located on the same property.  These types of

evacuations can take a great deal of time and it's better to start moving

these animals before evacuations become mandatory.


Mandatory Evacuations

A mandatory evacuation means the situation has reached a life

threatening level.  If an animal care giver cannot evacuate their own

animals, Noah's Wish volunteers will help because the agencies assisting

with evacuating people do not have the time or space in their vehicles to

transport animals.

They help in many more ways...

CROSS POSTING APPRECIATED!!!!!

We have opened a pet shelter at Blackham Coliseum in Lafayette, right next to the Cajundome.  Evacuees may bring their pets their for housing. We have PLENTY of food, water, crates, cages, bedding and newspaper.  BUT the owners are responsible for feeding, watering, walking and medicating their own pets.

Interested parties may call Lafayette Parish Animal Control at: 337-291-5644 for more information.

Also many area vets are accepting animals right now, until they fill up. Get the Yellow Pages out!

Please help me to get this word out.  I've been working non-stop!  THANKS!

Nancy Marcantel ARF of LA.

Being in the South this email message was sent to me. I thought I
would send it on to otheres.

Hurricane Katrina's toll on communities, homes and lives has
devastated the nation. Now victims must face the daunting question of
where to go next—and we can help.

Tens of thousands of newly homeless families are being bused to a
stadium in Houston, where they may wait for weeks or months. At least
80,000 are competing for area shelters, and countless more are in
motels, cars, or wherever they can stay out of the elements. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Red Cross are scrambling
to find shelter for the displaced.

This morning, we've launched an emergency national housing drive to
connect your empty beds with hurricane victims who desperately need a
place to wait out the storm. You can post your offer of housing (a
spare room, extra bed, even a decent couch) and search for available
housing online at:

http://www.hurricanehousing.org

Housing is most urgently needed within reasonable driving distance
(about 300 miles) of the affected areas in the Southeast, especially
New Orleans.

Please forward this message to anyone you know in the region who
might be able to help.

But no matter where you live, your housing could still make a world
of difference to a person or family in need, so please offer what you
can.

The process is simple:


You can sign up to become a host by posting a description of whatever
housing you have available, along with contact information. You can
change or remove your offer at any time.


Hurricane victims, local and national relief organizations, friends
and relatives can search the site for housing. We'll do everything we
can to get your offers where they are needed most. Many shelters
actually already have Internet access, but folks without 'net access
can still make use of the site through case workers and family
members.


Hurricane victims or relief agencies will contact hosts and together
decide if it's a good match and make the necessary travel
arrangements. The host's address is not released until a particular
match is agreed on.

If hosting doesn't work for you, please consider donating to the Red
Cross to help with the enormous tasks of rescue and recovery. You can
give online at:

http://www.moveon.org/r?r=859

As progressives, we share a core belief that we are all in this
together, and today is an important chance to put that idea to work.
There are thousands of families who have just lost everything and
need a place to stay dry. Let's do what we can to help.

http://www.hurricanehousing.org

Thanks for being there when it matters most.

Hi Everyone:  I want each and every person to know I am praying for
them, their loved ones, and their pets to be saved by this horrible
devastation.  I can't imagine what everyone must be going through, and
only wish the best for all concerned.

I also want everyone to know that the American Humane Society and
North Shore Animal League are two of the animal organizations that
have sent people there to help because the human rescue groups won't
help the animals at all.  So, if any of you are able to donate to
their cause, just go to their websites at: americanhumane.org and
nsal.org, and you will be able to make donations. Also, pleae let
everyone you know about these wonderful groups who are helping the
pets. Thanks again.  Vicky Tisdial
