This is NOT confirmed. ----------------------- Please call KPBS radio for verification of the report. One of our SD political representatives did a telephone interview on KPBS yesterday, Oct 24th and announced the problem through a KPBS broadcast around 1:00. KPBS TV/FM 5200 Campanile Drive San Diego, CA 92182 619-594-1515 news@kpbs.org From LATIMES.COM 9:54 PM PDT, October 25, 2007 http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-evacuate24oct24,1,5751160.story?coll=la-headlines-california The elderly were posing special challenges. At least 11 nursing homes had to be evacuated as a result of the wildfires in San Diego County, officials said. Residents have been allowed to return to three of the facilities; but this evening, 578 nursing home residents were still displaced. The priority for health officials has been identifying nursing home patients and ensuring they are "placed at the correct level of care, and that we respond very, very quickly," said Kathleen Billingsley, deputy director for the Center for Healthcare Quality at the California Department of Public Health. I do not know the contact person at Qualcomm. However KPBS should be able to tell you the name of the evacuated convalescent home. I believe these people are still there. Thank you for whatever you can do.
