1. We need volunteers to help asses unmet needs. If you want to volunteer, please let me know. This will be my primary role.
2. We need places for volunteers to stay in Roswell and Capitan. The volunteers will be Team Rubicon (emergency debris crews) and case managers that will help with unmet needs. If you a place, let me know.
3. Organizations need money, the state has already deployed the National Guard, which comes with a great deal of emergency resources, but that does not help the survivors with the immediate unmet needs.
4. Accurate and consistent messaging is very important right now.
If you want to donate food, please donate to the local food banks, because that will be coordinated and delivered to the places where it is needed.
