Fresno native Brian Van Anne, director of Genesis Family Center's foster care program, left September 6 to spend two weeks volunteering with the Red Cross, helping to provide mental health services to victims of Hurricane Katrina. He will share his experiences each day with Bee readers.

11:45 A.M. CENTRAL TIME -- We made it inside the Reliant Center with a Mexican paramedic team from Jalisco.

Now we're setting up garbage cans as guides for people to line up against as they wait for their $200 Red Cross vouchers. Tomorrow, the $2,000 FEMA housing vouchers are supposed to be released.

We heard there apparently was a small riot here earlier and that's why the center was on lockdown. There's a lot of media here right now.
