[SDBUG] Help with Disaster Bulletin Board Web Site - ASAP

[Bryan]

Sandiego.gov was just recently set up...  That is the city's website that
gives out all available information...  http://www.sandiego.gov

I live in on the western edge of Scripps Ranch. (I could toss a rock and hit
I-15.)  We evac'ed to Oceanside for about 24 hours and just was allowed back
around 2pm PST...

Ya'll be careful out there.  I remember living next to the Q when the Cedar
fire occurred in 2003.  Being in the Navy then, I "escaped" to NAS North
Island.  It definitely feels different when you have a wife and kid, and a
civilian...

Be Safe...
