With continuing inquiries from friends and family members from outside of the Murfreesboro area worried about those affected, the Red Cross is urging everyone who was affected by these storms to visit www.safeandwell.org and register himself or herself as being safe and well.

Family members and friends can visit the same site and see that their family members are OK. If victims cannot access the Internet, they can call 1 (866) GET-INFO and have a Red Cross volunteer register their name on the Safe and Well Web site.

You can help people affected by this disaster, by donating to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish) or mail your donation, to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.

The Red Cross is NOT accepting any donations of clothing, furniture or any other material items.

Schools post bus routes Murfreesboro City Schools has posted alternate bus routes on its Web site (www.murfreesboro.cityschools.net). City schools have also canceled TCAP testing for Monday.

Fortunately, no damage has been sustained to any school or facility that is part of the Rutherford County Schools district. Schools will be in session Monday, and buses will run as usual.

However, special considerations are being made for those families who have been affected by the tornado.
