Hello All! Yes, it is indeed a wonderful idea to assemble a database of volunteers who are willing to help out in an emergency/disaster situation. Fortunately, this important work is already being done by Chere McCoy and Ferret Friends Disaster Response International. If you would like to be listed with her organization as a volunteer, go to http://www.worldaccessnet.com/~ferretma/ffdri_member.html The first part of the form collects your personal information should *you* need assistance in the event of an emergency. The second part of the form outlines your volunteering capabilities. For more information about disaster preparedness, current disasters/emergencies, etc. you can visit the FFDRI home page at http://www.worldaccessnet.com/~ferretma/ffdri1.html Happy Ferreting!
