Many of us have friends and family in the Southern CA area which is being ravaged by fires. One such person is my friend, Jan Krentz. I was more than relieved to hear from her this morning - via the internet (You got to love this medium of communication!). She directed me to her site where she is keeping an on line diary. I asked for her permission to blog regarding her efforts and here was her response:

Thanks, Alex - Sure, Please feel free to link folks to my newsletter.

I wanted to provide active links to local news stations for folks outside our area who need info for family & friends, particularly those who are evacuated and have no contact with family.

I am updating it daily during the crisis.

I am moving earlier entries to individual linked pages.
