Chalice facility is OK & Other good information

The Chalice campus is safe and sound. There is some minor damage from the wind to the tents that we set up for Cabaret night.

Likewise with Chalice members. So far as we have heard, none of our members lost their houses. Tom Brower’s ex-wife & their kids lost their house in Rancho Bernardo but his mom’s house is fine.

But lots of people are still evacuated including myself.

I stopped by Qualcomm yesterday and got a lot of good information. I spoke with the SD police, SDG&E and FEMA representatives.  They have tons of supplies, clothes, bedding, sheets, food, miscellaneous stuff at Qualcomm as well as representatives from just about every group that you might be interested in talking with including the insurance companies. It is not crowded and it is easy to pick up a few things if you need them.

SD police said that they expect that most of the houses will have electricity because they go in very quickly behind the firemen to deal with the powerlines. Water & gas maybe.

SDG&E said that if your gas is turned off, CALL SDG&E to turn it on. They advise people not to turn the gas on yourself.

Register with FEMA - go online to http://www.fema.gov/assistance/index.shtm or call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) to register. It doesn’t mean you’ll get or need assistance but they were very responsive about our needs.
