Spencer what can you tell us . Those large groups are coming by the bus load. A few of those shelters you mentioned are short term shelters set up by the city, but james lick high is an aovernight shelter that the red cross is in charge of. Cots are set up inside the gym there. City buses have been bringing evacuees from the other Evacuation Centers to this one. People had the clothes on their backs and what little they could carry. I was up in chico at the Evacuation Center during the oroville dam scare, and the difference with these evacuees is that many of them have already seen their homes and cars destroyed by the flood waters. A lot of them already know the headache and heartache they have to sort through when things dry up. Theres space for just over 200 people to spend the night here. The red cross has another high school on standby in case they need more bed space. Wed rather have the shelter open, in case people need it rather than having to scramble to open it. So we want to make sure that, if we can, the shelters open, people have a warm, safe place to come to. For interested volunteers, the best thing the red cross says you can do in the long run, is make donations to the red cross. A lot of these people have little clothing with them, or awet clothing with them, so the Salvation Army has been bringing in rackfulls of clothes throughout the afternoon.
