On Saturday the LatiNola team of bilingual Evacuteers convened at the Red Cross for their training on psychological first aid and how to assist the non-English speaking population if there is an evacuation.  Members of the group will be stationed at the Union Passenger Terminal as well as key neighborhood pick-up points to help with interpretation and assist all evacuees using the City-Assisted Evacuation Plan.  Click for the story from Fox 8.

Interested in joining the team?  It’s not too late to attend a training.  Contact Christina to sign up: cdecker@puentesno.org.
