			<p><p>Local relief efforts to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey are starting to take shape.</p><p>Below is a list of efforts The State Journal-Register is aware of. If you have an effort to add, please email the details and contact information to pix@sj-r.com.</p><p>Bottled water collection</p><p>People attending the Glenwood High School vs. Rochester High School football game at 7 p.m. Friday in Chatham are encouraged to bring a case of bottled water.</p><p>One of the organizers of the collection, Chris Noonan, a senior financial adviser with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &amp; Smith, said volunteers will be stationed in the parking lot to help unload any cases of water onto a truck.</p><p>The water will be put on pallets, covered in shrink-wrap and driven to the Houston area next week to help any first responders or other emergency officials.</p><p>Noonan said organizers have coordinated the effort with the Red Cross and friends in the region.</p><p>&#x201c;We&#x2019;ll get the water into the right hands,&#x201d; he said. &#x201c;We know the first thing rescue workers, clean-up workers, first responders and Red Cross workers need is clean water to drink.&#x201d;</p><p>Local chapter of American Red Cross</p><p>The American Red Cross of Central and Southern Illinois has deployed 38 people so far to Texas, said Trish Burnett, local spokeswoman.</p><p>Burnett said she expects the number to rise dramatically in the next couple of days as the location of where people are needed becomes clearer.</p><p>Burnett emphasized the best way people can help is to make a financial contribution to the Red Cross.</p><p>People can call 1-800-RED CROSS or text HARVEY to 90999 to make a $10 donation for those in need, she said.</p><p>The Red Cross is advising against anyone collecting and sending food, clothing and other household items to the relief effort. The agency says doing so actually causes more harm than good because it takes time and money to store, sort, clean and distribute donated items, which diverts limited time and resources away from helping those most affected.</p><p>&#x201c;They don&#x2019;t have the ability to cope with materials so financial donations are the best way to help,&#x201d; Burnett said.</p><p>The Red Cross also encourages anyone wanting to drive to Texas and assist with relief efforts to coordinate with organizations on the ground before showing up, Burnett added.</p><p>HSHS St. John&#x2019;s Hospital</p><p>An emergency flight nurse and a logistics manager based at HSHS St. John&#x2019;s Hospital are part of an aircraft rescue team that was sent to Texas to provide medical support for those affected by Hurricane Harvey, hospital spokeswoman Catie Sheehan said.</p><p>Joe Rios is the flight nurse and Bobby Groves is helping manage logistics at the staging area. They are both part of the air rescue team at St. John&#x2019;s called Saints Flight that is owned and operated by Air Methods Corp., the largest publicly owned air transportation provider in the world with 300 bases in 48 states, Sheehan said.</p><p>Rios and Groves joined a crew from Litchfield and Sullivan, Missouri that flew down to Texas on Sunday. Members from Litchfield that joined the team were Shannon Dugger, a flight nurse; Darren Davis and Steve Piper, paramedics; and Bob Hester and Doug Rhodes, pilots.</p><p>&#x201c;We ask that you pray for the hurricane victims&#x2019; safety and also for these brave men and women on the rescue team as they embark on this rescue mission,&#x201d; said Charles L. Lucore, president and CEO of HSHS St. John&#x2019;s Hospital.</p><p>Illinois Emergency Management Agency</p><p>Spokeswoman Patti Thompson the agency will deploy aid as soon as authorities in Texas request it.</p><p>Every state in the nation, she said, is part of an emergency network that enables states to share resources during natural and man-made disasters.</p><p>During Hurricane Katrina, Illinois sent more than 2,500 people, including medical teams, firefighters, police and emergency managers to New Orleans, she said.</p><p>&#x201c;We&#x2019;re going to be ready to fill requests as they come out,&#x201d; Thompson said.</p><p>&#x2014; Contact Jason Nevel: 788-1521, jason.nevel @sj-r.com, twitter.com/JasonNevelSJR.</p></p>
