Editor... In this issue: NAHB News and NotesResources for HBAs in areas hit by recent tornados and wildfires are available online at www.nahb.org/disasterresources, and we're getting the word out to as many of our affiliates as possible throughout the affected seven states. Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma and Arkansas have suffered the blows of devastating tornados in past weeks, while raging fires have engulfed parts of Texas and New Mexico. In an effort to help, NAHB is providing general talking points for dealing with the media as well as links to important information from FEMA, the Red Cross and the Small Business Administration. This free data is aimed at helping our HBAs in their efforts to assist both local consumers and building industry members. In addition, NAHB's Public Affairs staff will be available to help with Public Service Announcements that warn consumers against unscrupulous, fly-by-night contractors. For more information about community outreach or to discuss your local concerns, please contact Kym Kilbourne at x8447. Membership in your local HBA gives you instant access to NAHB's staff experts and resources in both good times and bad. This is an important member benefit to be aware of when devastating events occur within your local jurisdiction.
