Additionally, many companies have also sustained damage and while working on their own recovery, are trying to restore heat to their customers. It is important that the recovery goes as smoothly as possible and that loyal heating oil customers are brought back to a normal existence as quickly as possible. The brunt of the effort will be borne by the service personnel in the field and the companies in the ravaged areas. However, we hope that we can make a contribution to that effort. Part of that effort will involve having a strong communications system to ensure that information is shared, that resources go to the right area and that cooperation is facilitated. To that end, we are attempting to facilitate communication by bringing three new resources forward. First, we have established a website oilheatingstorm.com, which will be the central clearinghouse for information. Second, we have established a Facebook page also named oilheatingstorm where conversations on the recovery and how resources can be allocated will occur. We invite you to post and use the Facebook page, and we will move information to the webpage so that it will be organized and useful. Third, a twitter account has also been set-up so we can distribute notices of new information. The twitter account is also named ���oilheatingstorm.��� We encourage all of you to use www. oilheatingstorm.com, Facebook and Twitter so we can have an active resource for the industry.
