[Katrina-IT-Volunteers] Yet more confusion at registration and other things

[Deborah Zallen]

This was my second time at the registration area.  Which is no longer in the
back near the cafeteria.  It is now in the front of the convention center.
Much better location.

I kept getting different information on what I was suppose to tell new
evacuees.  First the were suppose to register and then get a yellow index
card with a number.  Then they could not register unless they had a yellow
index card.  But the were not being allowed in the building if the did not
have a wrist band.

I have not worked the other area and I am not really sure I know which of
the computers inside the dorms is even the correct one.  I can never seem to
find anyone to direct me to them.  I was suppose to work them today but I
did not know where or who to talk to.  I found someone at registration who
knew about Freenet and I ended up working there.   Dale's sister trained me
on the latest intake procedures on the computer.

I found errors with the application but no one knew who to contact to fix
them.   There are problems with updating saved intake forms.  Some of the
fields will update and some do not.  I had some people who had been at the
Tony Burger Center and were in the computer but there was hardly any of
there information.  We tried to update their records but ended up creating
new ones.  Therefore these people are in the database twice.  I wrote down
the info in someone's notebook.  I can not think of her name at the moment
but she had on a red bandana.

IT control?  Never knew it existed.
