 CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - When everyone else is trying to get away from a natural disaster, National Travel Inc. is trying to find ways to get thousands of relief workers in.
Since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast this week, the company has processed travel plans for more than 10,000 people the Federal Emergency Management Agency is sending to the region to help recovery efforts. The number could reach 25,000 before it's over, said National Travel president Ted Lawson.
"We take it kind of day-by-day," said Lawson, whose company has been FEMA's travel agent since 1999 and has made travel arrangements for several disasters, including the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack in New York City.
