The Joplin Globe

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma ambulance services are finally about to be paid for services they provided to Hurricane Katrina evacuees living at Camp Gruber near Muskogee for a month last fall, officials said Wednesday.
Michelann Ooten, spokeswomen for the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, said the state was notified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that about $200,000 in ambulance bills have been approved for payment. Payment checks should be issued by next week, she said.
In addition to the costs of transporting people from Camp Gruber to hospitals, some costs were incurred by ambulance services that went to Falls Creek State Park in preparation for the expected arrival of evacuees. The park near Davis in southern Oklahoma ended up not being used in the hurricane relief effort.
About 1,500 evacuees lived at Camp Gruber, a National Guard training center, from early September to early October.
