JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Cashiers at Sears and Kmart stores in Region 8 are being retrained after a Region 8 News investigation revealed they were not checking the identification of customers who use unsigned credit cards, despite a corporate policy to do so. According to a spokesperson with Sears Holdings, cashiers are required to follow policies set forth by credit issuers. In a Region 8 News hidden camera investigation, cashiers never checked our unsigned Visa credit card and allowed our transactions to go through.

JONESBORO,AR (KAIT)- In the wake of the Oklahoma tornado, the Craighead County Office of Emergency Management hosted a class Tuesday on how to handle volunteers and donations following a disaster.

"A lot of people don't understand it's quite
complicated to be able to coordinate and take care of all those resources," said David Moore, the Director of Emergency Management
for Craighead Count.

Moore said this class is the first of many to help all coordinators prepare for any type
of disaster.
