The Community Response Task Force accepted a $1000.00 donation from the Rotary Club of Humble Intercontinental. The donation was awarded during the Rotarians December meeting at the Humble Civic Center. Community Response Task Force Board members were on hand at the meeting and President Rodney Bryant accepted the donation check for the group. The Community Response Task Force is a disaster response group organized to network local resources for disaster response and relief. The group has members throughout the Hwy 59 North Corridor from Beltway 8 to Cleveland. The CRTF was organized shortly after hurricanes Katrina and Rita demonstrated the need for cooperation between groups that traditionally assist with disaster relief. The CRTF membership includes faith based groups, businesses, emergency responders, clubs, and others who wish to assist in local disaster relief efforts. The CRTF members maintain a cadre of volunteers that maintain a communications network among members to provide information on area needs and what resources members have available for relief. In this way members can work together assisting each other to provide needed disaster relief. The CRTF is grateful for the donation received from local Rotarians. The funds will be used for membership recruitment and public education programs on disaster preparedness. For information on joining the CRTF or its activities go to CRTF.net on the web or call the Humble Office of Emergency Management at 281 446 4928. Meetings are bi-monthly and there are no membership fees.
