At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I felt worse again during the morning and got better as the day went on and spent the day in the UMCOR office answering phones, making calls and keeping our data up to date. Not much to say, but perhaps I'll share some of the things that come up on a "regular day at the office." We were notified of a critical food shortage at the Hancock Co Emergency Response Center so we notified our warehouse and the Call Center to direct food there. We had a couple requests for PCs, so we coordinated that with the warehouse. A call came in telling us 30 homeless people were going to be put out of a closing Red Cross shelter tonight and if we could help. We called an area homeless advocate and put them in touch with one another. We coordinated the arrival and first work order for a team coming from Indiana tonight. We took several calls for people interested in bringing teams or supplies in the future. We tried finding places to house more teams in Nov since many of our churches are booked full. We need to find how to contact the FEMA billeting people. We also took a couple new work orders. Other than a variety of other interrupting calls, it was an easy day.
