Dear NOMRC Members,
We are closely monitoring Invest 91L which is currently over the southeastern Bahamas. This system is forecast to move west-northwest across the remainder of the Bahamas and southern Florida over the next day or so. Is it expected that this area will become a tropical depression over the eastern or central Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday or Wednesday. There is currently an 90% chance of formation over the next 5 days. We are expecting to see heavy rains and higher than normal tides.
NOMRC volunteers will be asked to assist with a call center and we will be placing a small shelter team on standby for Tuesday night and Wednesday in case of power outages or localized flooding. If you are available to work any of the following shifts please email Sarah Babcock at sababcock@nola.gov.
Call Center - located at City Hall, volunteers will update people on the Special Needs Registry, check on the most vulnerable registrants, and coordinate services for registrants once the storm begins. Volunteers are are able to work shorter shifts, especially over prime new hours (8-10am, 11am-2pm, 4-8pm)
Tuesday, September 4th 9am-7pm
Tuesday, September 4th 7pm- Wednesday, September 5th 7am
Wednesday, September 5th 7am-7pm
Medical Special Needs Shelter - location TBD, volunteers will assist with general shelter and medical operations as needed, this team will be on standby and will not report until requested. Volunteers are able to work a half shift if needed.
Tuesday, September 4th 7pm- Wednesday, September 5th 7am
Wednesday, September 5th 7am-7pm
