Volunteers from the Cajun Clickers Computer Club in Baton Rouge are still busy inputting data for our Katrina Pet Rescue Project.
We are building a growing, massive spreadsheet of pet rescue requests. The Louisiana SPCA & HSUS use this for planning animal rescues and the State uses for coordinating other offers of help. We input the phone call logs from the State's Office of Animal Health Services and input the emails they receive for requesting pet rescues, reports of lost animals, offers to foster animals, offers of donations of goods, and offers to volunteer.
So far, we have had over 70 individual volunteers working at different times in our 15-computer lab, with up to 19 computers in use at one time (15+4 personal notebooks). Our volunteers have put in almost 700 man hours in the last 9 days to create the rescue scheduling tool, with some volunteers putting in 10 to 15 hours per day every day.
Each day, we complete the inputs all the data that we receive that day, consolidate individual spreadsheets into the master, add spreadsheets from some third parties and provide it to the Louisiana SPCA, to the Humane Society of the United States and to Louisiana's Office of Animal Health Services.
