In an effort
to maintain an accurate common operational picture and effectively pair up
available resources with various resource needs, please let me know of any
assistance your teams are currently or willing to provide.
Attached is
a list of downed or damaged trees throughout the community. While Public Works and our Urban Forestry
crews from Recreation Parks and Open Space are working together to clear trees
out of roadways, they are unable to address trees on private property (unless
it is on a home, and later on vehicles).
If you have trained individuals willing to assist those more vulnerable
and/or under-resourced, please let us know so we channel requests
accordingly. We do have one such request in
the Bayview area!
We have
also heard from others seeking assistance with removal of carpet, cleaning and
preventing mold.
Whatever it
is your team is willing (and trained) to provide, be it passing out supplies,
clearing trees and yard debris, manpower to assist with cleaning, etc., please let us know and
we’ll keep an inventory. This will at least let us know where to begin searching when a need arises.
Lastly, we
ask everyone to continue sharing with your friends, neighbors and congregations
all the response/recovery updates posted to Norfolk.gov, https://www.facebook.com/NorfolkVA,
https://mobile.twitter.com/NorfolkVA,
Channel 48 and our Team Norfolk Emergency Operations blog at http://teamnorfolkeoc.blogspot.com/.
Thank you!!Jim
