Yup absolutely. People on the list can also guide them to any local contacts they might know of, who 
could lend  a hand. [Page updated]

Although the whole exercise could be done via the mailing list in the first place, sometimes there 
could perhaps be situations when local help would be urgently needed. In any case, contact 
information to be publicized, is at the discretion of the person volunteering in the first place.
