University of Wyoming volunteers are not needed at this time to assist with local
flood relief efforts. The university is in contact with the City of Laramie to monitor
the situation.
"The City of Laramie does not anticipate the need for UW volunteers this week," says
Nancy Fox, UW Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Office director who is coordinating
UW's volunteer assignments. "Some volunteers may be needed to help with cleanup work
next week. Thanks to the large number of staff, faculty and students who have contacted
the Environmental Health and Safety Office. "
EHS will maintain contact information on those who already have contacted the office
to volunteer. If UW volunteers are requested by local officials, EHS will contact
the volunteers for activation. Those who may be called to assist are eligible for
four hours of release time, authorized by UW President Tom Buchanan.
