An emergency shelter is open at the Eagles Club, 345 12th Avenue NE, Valley City, to help residents impacted by the flood by offering a safe place to stay, a hot meal, minor first aid, and a shoulder to lean on. ========================================= 3/31/09: Red Cross shelter in Casselton, N.D., to close The Red Cross shelter that has been set up at Central Cass school in Casselton, N.D., since last Friday is closing tomorrow at noon. Steve Wolfe, a Red Cross volunteer who has been in charge of the Casselton shelter, said the Fargo flood evacuees will be moved to a consolidated shelter at a different location. Yesterday some evacuees were moved to a West Fargo shelter. There are 19 flood evacuees left up at the school today. They say living in a shelter since last Friday has been difficult to get used to but the Red Cross workers, law enforcement and other volunteers have shown infinate patience and kindness. Wolfe said there were a few medical issues but the medical teams at the shelter, which include physicians, have dealt with the issues promptly and effectively. At one point, there were 144 flood evacuees staying at the school’s shelter. The school was initially told to prepare for the possiblity of 1,500 flood evacuees. Some people have also been staying at local churches. There are 12 people from the memory care unit at Rosewood on Broadway staying at Martin’s Lutheran church. St. Leo’s Catholic church has 56 assisted care residents and 45 nursing home residents from Bethany Homes. The school’s custodial crew will work on putting everything back together and school is scheduled to be back in session Friday, said Superintendent Mike Severson. Busses will run on paved roads only. ----------------------------------------------------- STATE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER UPDATE 3/30/09: The State is working with the Red Cross and has identified 12 shelters that are currently on standby with a capacity of 5,000 for the Red River Valley. ------------------------------------------------------- The National Red Cross will begin operating a supportive care shelter beginning Sunday morning at Cheney Middle School, 827 17th Ave. E. The shelter is intended to provide temporary housing to independent living clients who are frail, have mental health issues or have health or mobility issues. Clients will be referred for services by their providers and Southeast Mental Health. -------------------------------------------------------- Casselton readying to take in 1,500 evacuees from Fargo Casselton, N.D. - The town here is preparing to take in around 1,500 flood evacuees from Fargo. The American Red Cross is setting up a shelter at Central Cass school. Superintendent Mike Severson received a phone call from the Red Cross at 1 a.m. letting him know that the school would need to serve as a shelter. St. Leo's Catholic Church in Casselton also is planning to take on evacuees from Bethany Homes in Fargo. Bethany Homes started preparing for its evacuation about 5:30 a.m. Grant Richardson, senior executive for development and community relations, said he hopes to have all 375 people out by early this afternoon. In addition to Casselton, people who require skilled nursing care are also being moved to Bismarck, Lisbon, Wahpeton, Grand Forks, and Rosholt and Sisseton, S.D. "This was something we hoped to avoid," Richardson said. "It's a lot easier to take care of the residents where they're comfortable." Richardson said it is a physically and emotionally difficult process to move all the residents. "They're here because they're in fragile health. Each of the residents has going with them key contact information, physician’s orders and medications," Richardson said. In many cases, Bethany Homes staff members are also going with the residents, Richardson said. He said he does not know when they will return to the Fargo facility, but he is hopeful it will be fairly soon. There are now about 50 school busses in the parking lot of Central Cass school and in front of the school waiting to be dispatched as needed. Many of those buses are from the West Fargo School District. Severson said he expects people to start arriving at the school around mid-morning. Volunteers are starting to arrive at the school to help set up cots. The school is willing to do whatever it can to help with the flood relief effort, Severson said. --------------------------------------------- The American Red Cross is on the scene in the North Dakota/Minnesota flood zones to help prepare for possible flooding and to support those battling against the rising water.

Steve Wolfe, a Red Cross volunteer who has been in charge of the Casselton shelter, said the Fargo flood evacuees will be moved to a consolidated shelter at a different location. Yesterday some evacuees were moved to a West Fargo shelter. There are 19 flood evacuees left up at the school today. They say living in a shelter since last Friday has been difficult to get used to but the Red Cross workers, law enforcement and other volunteers have shown infinate patience and kindness. Wolfe said there were a few medical issues but the medical teams at the shelter, which include physicians, have dealt with the issues promptly and effectively. At one point, there were 144 flood evacuees staying at the school’s shelter. The school was initially told to prepare for the possiblity of 1,500 flood evacuees. Some people have also been staying at local churches. There are 12 people from the memory care unit at Rosewood on Broadway staying at Martin’s Lutheran church. St. Leo’s Catholic church has 56 assisted care residents and 45 nursing home residents from Bethany Homes. The school’s custodial crew will work on putting everything back together and school is scheduled to be back in session Friday, said Superintendent Mike Severson. Busses will run on paved roads only. ----------------------------------------------------- STATE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER UPDATE 3/30/09: The State is working with the Red Cross and has identified 12 shelters that are currently on standby with a capacity of 5,000 for the Red River Valley. ------------------------------------------------------- The National Red Cross will begin operating a supportive care shelter beginning Sunday morning at Cheney Middle School, 827 17th Ave. E.

The American Red Cross is setting up a shelter at Central Cass school. Superintendent Mike Severson received a phone call from the Red Cross at 1 a.m. letting him know that the school would need to serve as a shelter. St. Leo's Catholic Church in Casselton also is planning to take on evacuees from Bethany Homes in Fargo. Bethany Homes started preparing for its evacuation about 5:30 a.m. Grant Richardson, senior executive for development and community relations, said he hopes to have all 375 people out by early this afternoon. In addition to Casselton, people who require skilled nursing care are also being moved to Bismarck, Lisbon, Wahpeton, Grand Forks, and Rosholt and Sisseton, S.D. "This was something we hoped to avoid," Richardson said. "It's a lot easier to take care of the residents where they're comfortable." Richardson said it is a physically and emotionally difficult process to move all the residents. "They're here because they're in fragile health. Each of the residents has going with them key contact information, physician’s orders and medications," Richardson said. In many cases, Bethany Homes staff members are also going with the residents, Richardson said. He said he does not know when they will return to the Fargo facility, but he is hopeful it will be fairly soon. There are now about 50 school busses in the parking lot of Central Cass school and in front of the school waiting to be dispatched as needed. Many of those buses are from the West Fargo School District. Severson said he expects people to start arriving at the school around mid-morning. Volunteers are starting to arrive at the school to help set up cots. The school is willing to do whatever it can to help with the flood relief effort, Severson said. --------------------------------------------- The American Red Cross is on the scene in the North Dakota/Minnesota flood zones to help prepare for possible flooding and to support those battling against the rising water.
