Sedgwick County Emergency Management is asking that citizens who are not affected by the recent tornados avoid storm-damaged areas, specifically the Pinaire Mobile Home Park and the Oaklawn neighborhood. The additional traffic of on-lookers is problematic for public safety officials and those residents trying to assess damage and clean-up efforts.
In addition, volunteers are not needed in the area and citizens wanting to help should not show up at the storm damage sites. Anyone wishing to assist the community and residents affected should contact the United Way by calling 2-1-1.
