Hunt County – The Hunt County Health Department and other county officials are on the move helping victims of Hurricane Katrina. According to the Greenville Herald Banner, Hunt county Judge Joe Bobbitt said that more and more refugees are arriving in the area daily. Many people are responding with goods and money, but the need is immediate. Hunt County health Department staff members have attended area-wide coordinating meetings to find that relief centers in Dallas are at capacity, and surrounding counties should step up efforts to provide assistance.
