"With the reports of more than 300 homes destroyed by the Waldo Canyon fire and more than 30,000 people evacuating Colorado Springs alone, there's a great deal of information that needs to be communicated to the residents of Colorado Springs, its surrounding areas, and the broader country," said Scott Mozarsky, chief commercial officer, PR Newswire.  "We want to make sure that the organizations that can offer assistance have a quick and easy way of getting their messages out."
