Hurricane Matthew Update 10-12-16 @ 2pm RESOURCE HOTLINE / REQUEST

Team,

As we have done in previous storm events, our fantastic partners of Operation Blessing have set up a hotline for those who need help and those who wish to offer help (see attached below).  Calls have been sporadic thus far – some to our IMPACT center, our Officials or the EOC, some to VDEM and others to FEMA.  By establishing one dedicated hotline, we can better match up the appropriate services and conduct work orders in a more efficient manner.  It has worked tremendously well in the past with our Snow Buddies program. 

We need your help!  By way of this message I am personally asking our friends in the Navy, Norfolk State, Old Dominion, CERT and our faith community to help identify unmet needs as well as anyone willing to assist those less fortunate.  The number of needs will likely rise with a consolidated contact.
 
Thank you!!
 
Jim
Director, Norfolk EOC
