The American Red
Cross is preparing for what could be a large disaster response spanning
multiple states and is already starting to help the millions of people whose
communities are under warnings from Tropical Storm Isaac. Red Cross disaster
workers are responding throughout the Gulf region, providing shelter and help
in Florida and preparing to open evacuation shelters in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama.
Locally, the
American Red Cross continues to deploy volunteers to assist in the affected areas,
and Emergency Response Vehicles (ERV) from Niagara County and Southwestern New
York will be heading to Port Allen, Louisiana on Tuesday morning to assist in
Mass Care and Feeding efforts. Volunteers Priscilla Baker and Susan Schafer of
Ransomville will be driving the ERV from Niagara Falls, and Charles Meder of
Stockton and Pete Swales of Springville will deploy with the ERV from
Jamestown.
