Volunteer Coordinator Effort — It is the plan to have a volunteer clean-up day for this Saturday
May 31, 2008. Hot zone will be the focus of the clean-up effort and all volunteers will need to
be credentialed. Also, adequate parking and bus service in and out of the neighborhood will be
required. Washington County Service Center in Forest Lake will be used as a staging place for
the volunteers. Before Saturday's event, professional volunteers can be in the area clearing
debris. Deb Paige from Washington County Emergency Management Director said this is a
good idea to keep progress moving forward before Saturday.
The goal is to get people back in their homes as soon as possible. Senator Coleman and
Klobuchar cautioned the unlikelihood of the 6.2 million dollar threshold for FEMA. Governor
Pawlenty said the state will be here to help with the effort now and in the future. The Hot Zone
area will be resized to allow many residents to return to their homes in the peripheral areas.
Donations will be set up in the Fire Hall and will be distributed by the fire fighters and
volunteers.
Credentialing of residents will occur each morning with a separate color form being used for
each day.
Postal service will not occur; all mail for the Hot Zone will be held in the post office for pick-up
or delivery at a further time.
Sherriff Hutton continued to discuss security and stated that the current system seem to be
working to keep people out of the area, and the use of credentialing will be disseminated to the
deputies in the field.
Impact to wetlands — RCWD is requesting funds to clean-up the wetland areas.
