[Students] Hurricane Gustav

[Joan Lawrence]

Hurricane Gustav has scattered thousands of families throughout Texas in

search of shelter, food and safety.  Commerce is reaching out to

approximately 300 of those hurricane evacuees, and will be providing
them

with shelter, food and support at both Berry Hall at A&M-Commerce, and

Commerce Middle School. In an effort to promote safety for both the

hurricane evacuee families, as well as Commerce students, staff and area

residents, the following safety precautions are advised:

 

Please direct all hurricane evacuees to Commerce Middle School.  All

evacuees must register there with the Red Cross in order to receive

benefits.  It is not recommended under any circumstances that you invite

evacuees and their families into your home.  Trained Red Cross staff
will be

on hand at the middle school to provide the necessary support and
supplies.

 

Those wishing to provide help and support to hurricane evacuee families
may

contact the local Red Cross chapter at 903-455-7932.
