Hundreds of Storm Evacuees Coming to D.C. Today by Plane

Hopefully, there will be a plan in place for all of us who want to volunteer to assist families here in the DC area.
Hundreds of Storm Evacuees Coming to D.C. Today by Plane: "A planeload of hurricane survivors will arrive in the District today and take shelter at a transformed D.C. Armory, with many more still expected to arrive by bus, D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams disclosed last night.

Amid rapid changes in the nation's plans for coping with the storm's aftermath, the airlift came at the request of Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), who has found his state overwhelmed by displaced Gulf Coast residents and who 'has just asked that the District help out,' said the mayor's spokesman, Vince Morris. Williams (D) said he expected about 400 people to arrive today."
