Evacuees will be able to make free calls

Evacuees staying at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center will be able to make outgoing phone calls at no cost.

Bell South set up 10 phones in the Civic Center Thursday. Evacuees will be able to use the phones to call family and friends, said Billy Tauzin III with BellSouth. The hope is that family or friends can help the evacuees find a place to permanently relocate.

Bell South staff are working on having similar phone access at the East Park Recreation Center and the Bayou Black Recreation Center.
