Tracking Canadians in Texas
Frank McKenna, Canada's ambassador to the United States, issued a consular alert Thursday. "Canadians in the projected path of hurricane Rita who are concerned with their safety should make plans to temporarily leave the area and inform friends and family of their current whereabouts."
McKenna said: "Canadians residing in or travelling to these areas should monitor local news and weather reports, follow the advice of local authorities, and contact their travel agent or tour operator to determine whether the situation will disrupt travel arrangements."
Canadian officials intensified their attempts to reach Canadians who may be in harm's way.
Dan McTeague, parliamentary secretary for Canadians abroad, said there are about 30,000 Canadians in Texas at any given time. He said efforts are underway to contact 175 permanent residents who have registered with consular officials in Dallas.
McTeague said: "We are, of course, trying to get their whereabouts and to encourage each and every one of them to return and to get out of harms way as quickly as possible."
Anyone in Canada who knows the location of Canadians in Texas was asked to report their whereabouts by calling 1-800-387-3124 or to register the information online at http://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/sos/rocapage-en.asp.
