Rape Crisis Volunteers Needed

WNRR Augusta – (Press Release)

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA (8/20/08) – Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Services, the only provider of services to survivors of Sexual Assault in the CSRA will have their next volunteer training for September 4 – 18, 2008.  Anyone interested in volunteering with this organization that is vital to the community is invited to attend the first session on Thursday, September 4, from 5:30 – 9:00 pm in Cafeteria Classroom #1 at University Hospital.

Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Services is a United Way supported agency, operating under University Hospital, that provides help for survivors of sexual assault regardless of how long ago it happened or whether it was reported. 

Sexual assault is an act of violence that is intended to control or humiliate.  As the most underreported of all crimes, it is more widespread than most people recognize. One out of three women and one out of five men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.  Rape and sexual abuse are often labeled “crimes of silence” because of low reporting rates and social discomfort with their public discussion.

Anne Ealick Henry, Director of Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Services, said “The success of services provided by Rape Crisis depends exclusively on our volunteers.  For over thirty years Rape Crisis has provided the CSRA with a 24-hour Crisis Line, emergency room advocacy at all area hospitals, court and legal advocacy, community education and counseling and therapy for survivors of sexual assault.  Our volunteers are the very core which has allowed the Program to continue for more than three decades.” 

Included in the formal training are presentations that address a variety of issues related to sexual assault, including how these types of cases are investigated and prosecuted and about the emotional aspects of this crime.  To become a volunteer with Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Services, one must be able to attend all of the scheduled sessions.  The training will be completed by attending self defense classes, of which the dates, times, and locations will be announced at training. 

 

The full Volunteer Training Schedule is as follows:

 

Thursday, September 4        5:30 PM – 9:00 PM     Cafeteria Classroom # 1

Friday, September 5             6:00 PM – 9:00 PM     Cafeteria Classroom # 1

Monday, September 8           5:30 PM – 9:00 PM     Cafeteria Classroom # 6

Augusta’s Unemployment Rate Rises

WNRR Augusta – GA Press Release

The Georgia Department of Labor reported today that the
unemployment rate in the metro Augusta area rose to a preliminary 6.7
percent in July, up six-tenths of one percent from a revised 6.1 percent in
June.

State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said, “We are experiencing
a rising tide of unemployment not seen in Georgia in more than fifteen
years. The surge of jobless workers into our career centers is
challenging our ability to keep pace with the demand for assistance at a time
when it is most needed. We ask our customers for their patience and
cooperation as we work together to meet and overcome these economic
challenges.”

Meanwhile, the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to
6.2 percent in July, up six-tenths of one percent from 5.6 percent in
June. The July rate was the highest recorded since March of 1993.

The current adjusted state rate, which is five-tenths of one percent
higher than the U.S. seasonally-adjusted rate of 5.7 percent, continued
to top the national rate for the sixth straight month. At present,
304,536 unemployed Georgians are now looking for work.

At the same time, initial unemployment insurance claims, which are
considered to be a leading economic indicator, rose by 30 percent in
Georgia in July to 59,165.

Preliminary unadjusted data show Georgia lost 46,600 payroll jobs from
June to July, a decrease of 1.1 percent. The job losses came
across-the-board in manufacturing, construction, trade, and services. In metro
Augusta, the number of jobs was down 3,800, or 1.7 percent, from 218,800
to 215,000.

The local area unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted. Georgia
labor market data are available at www.dol.state.ga.us.

GA Plans ‘Fay’ Response

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS STATE RESPONSE TO TROPICAL STORM FAY

 

ATLANTA – The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is coordinating the plans and preparatory activities of numerous federal agencies in close communication with state, tribal and local officials as Tropical Storm Fay continues to affect large portions of Florida . 

 

The robust system put in place by the state of Florida is meeting all the initial response and recovery needs.  Georgia , Alabama , North Carolina , South Carolina and other states along the storm’s predicted path are also stepping up their own preparations.  FEMA and its federal partners are in close communications with Florida and other states to review plans and respond to any request for assistance.

 

Snapshot of Federal Activities:

 

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

• FEMA has brought its National Response Coordination Center and its Regional Response Coordination Centers to heightened states of readiness.
• FEMA National Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces, Mobile Emergency Response System Detachments, and the National Incident Management Assistance Team East have been alerted and are standing by for potential deployment.
• FEMA logistics commodities pre-staged in Florida :

  • 9,600 tarps;
  • 616 rolls (20×100) of plastic sheeting.

Fay Update: Augusta ‘Out Of Swath’

WNRR Augusta – Most of the CSRA will miss the severe affects of tripocal storm Fay, accoring to emergency leaders. The Columbia County Emergency Management Agency released this information Wednesday:

Tropical Storm Fay’s projected path continues to edge away from us and our area is now out of the swath.  There is no reason to believe at this time that any local activities will be affected by this system.    

 

That doesn’t mean that TS Fay’s path won’t change again, but as of this morning, it does look like our local focus will now shift from dealing with local problems to standing by for any assistance needed by our south Georgia counties. 

 

The Columbia County Mobile Operations Center (MOC) is already on stand-by with GEMA and our shelters will be available in case there are any evacuations from the affected areas.  We will have a statewide conference call during the late morning hours and we will continue to closely monitor this system for any changes and I will keep you posted. 

 

We’re Watching The Tropics

WNRR Augusta – As Fay gains strength in the tropics, Georgia-Carolina remains in most of the projected paths. Local Emergency Management officials are also watching the forecast maps, to see how strong the storm will be if/when it reaches our area. Stay tuned to Newsradio1230, and Newsradio1230.com for the latest storm updates.
