EMA coordinator proposes community center as Red Cross disaster shelter

Mike Snder, the new Emergency Management coordinator for Lind Caver County, told the New Point Town Council the town's community center could qualify as a Red Cross disaster shelter after a short evaluation and paperwork process. He said his office would take measurements and photos, confirm handicap accessibility and refrigeration for medications, then submit the site to the Red Cross for approval. "What they basically require on the very minimum requirement level is a a refrigerator in case someone has medication and they will require handicap accessible uh facilities which this building does meet all those standards," Snder said.
