Facing an unimaginable tragedy like the one that in Joplin, MO in 2011 and most recently in Moore, OK earlier this week, brings to mind questions about safety in our hometown of Eudora. Facebook follower Lori Durrant posed the following question:
Does anyone know if the storm shelter located at the Eudora Elementary School is available to the community during a tornado warning?
We talked to Kristin Magette, Communications Director for the Eudora School District who gave us the following response:
-And don’t forget to practice your drill. Put together an emergency stockpile kit and store it somewhere you can best access it during an emergency.
-In preparing for tornadoes, secure large appliances, such as the water heater, as well as large, top-heavy pieces of furniture. Mark where utility switches are located so that they can be turned off if you have enough time. Consider storing important documents or copies of documents in a fire and waterproof safe.
-If you’ll need help during an emergency, ask someone nearby if she or he will assist you. Think about giving that person a spare key to your home in case of such emergencies.
FEMA has more information on it’s web site about things people can do to prepare themselves in the event of a tornado.
The Douglas County Emergency Management Department also has several pieces of information on their website. At the site, you can sign up for the Immediate Response Information System (IRIS) which is a call notification system being utilized by Douglas County to provide residents with health and safety information including weather alerts sent by the National Weather Service in Topeka. The messages can be voice, email and/or text messages. The IRIS system is provided free of charge. Note: Text message rates may apply depending on your mobile phone service plan.

Another tip that we were told by Walker after the Joplin tornado and wanted to again pass along: Cell phone towers may go down and communication can be limited, but texting should continue to work even with the loss of cell towers. You may not be able to call someone with your cell phone, but you should be able to get a text message through.

Local Eudora Update:
Wednesday night (May 22), Cutter’s Smokehouse and Catering will kick off a fundraising effort for the American Red Cross with the donations going to the Moore, OK disaster relief. The Blues Jam musicians will be donating all the “Tip Jar” cash donations for the cause as well. The Blues Jam this week is being hosted by the “Hall of Famers” which consists of musicians that are members of the Kansas Music Hall of Fame starts at 7:00 PM.
Original Story:
In a press release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the Kansas Division of Emergency Management is urging anyone wishing to contribute to disaster relief efforts ongoing in Oklahoma to donate cash to disaster relief organizations rather than donating goods.
“It is such a heartbreaking situation we are witnessing with our neighbors in Oklahoma and I know a lot of people want to help because that is just the way Kansans are,” said Gov. Sam Brownback. “We see a need and we want to do something about it. The best way we can help right now is to donate cash so that emergency relief organizations can purchase exactly what is needed when it is needed.”
KDEM recommends Kansans consider donating to reputable disaster relief organizations of their choice such as the American Red Cross (www.redcross.org), Salvation Army (www.salvationarmyusa.org), Catholic Charities USA (www.catholiccharitiesusa.org) or local organizations within the communities affected.
Via the Red Cross there are three easy ways to donate:
• Text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation
• Online at redcross.org
• Call 1-800-REDCROSS
Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, the adjutant general and director of KDEM, urged people to volunteer their time and services through official channels rather than self-deploying.
“We understand everyone wants to help, and we also realize volunteers who self-deploy mean well,” said Tafanelli, “but they sometimes forget their presence will put a strain on food and shelter resources needed to help storm victims. It’s better to let relief organizations know that you are available and what skills and other resources you can bring. Then they can contact you if and when your help is needed.”
Any requests from Oklahoma for civilian emergency responders will come through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact system alerting the Kansas Division of Emergency Management of the need. Requests for Kansas National Guard troops to assist will come through National Guard Bureau to the state and likely also be routed through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact system. This ensures the state is reimbursed through FEMA and state emergency declaration procedures, and the response is part of the overall coordinated state effort.
“We are watching for any requests for assistance from Oklahoma and we have reached out to our state counterparts to let them know we are ready to help,” said Brownback.
