urging all citizens who are evacuating in advance of Hurricane Gustav
to dial 211 if they are seeking a shelter inside Louisiana. Residents
who are looking for a shelter in another state should call the
toll-free number 1-866-Get Info (1-866-438-4636) for the location of
Red Cross shelters in another state.
"I am grateful for the partnership of both 211 and the Red Cross. They
have worked diligently to create systems to help our residents make it
to the closest shelter that has vacancies," said Williamson. "I would
also urge media outlets across the state to publicize these numbers so
that our residents have the latest information about shelter vacancies
as they evacuate."
