You'd have all sort of folks stopping to help you if that happened in this part of Texas.

Example, last friday some of the guys at our church put out a request for volunteers to go through Red Cross training (a really boring two hours worth of videos) and work at the third Katrina shelter that was being activated in our town of 100,000.

Within two days, around 700-800 new volunteers (including some members of our local cycling club) went through the training at the church and are helping out. At times, the volunteers present outnumber the evacuees housed at that shelter.
