MS: central MS has 6 churches slated for shelters
Evacuees fleeing Hurricane Gustav will prompt shelters to open in
central Mississippi — possibly by Sunday— if local American Red Cross
officials receive the go-ahead from state and local government.
Volunteers with the organization will staff shelters beginning with
those in the northern part of the state, then stagger acceptance of
evacuees southward, Vicksburg Area Chapter executive director Beverly
Connelly said.
"We will follow the protocol of the state," Connelly said, confirming
six area churches will house Red Cross shelters once Warren County
Emergency Management receives directives from the Mississippi
Emergency Management Agency.
