Once again, the Palmetto SC Region
of the American Red Cross has stepped in to help its neighbors throughout the
country. 10Red Cross volunteers have deployed to various disasters.
Two
volunteers are in Alabama helping residents recover after tornadoes impacted the
area. Seven volunteers are currently in the Kansas/Nebraska area as record
flooding inundates town after town. One volunteer is in Iowa as that area also
experiences flooding.

| Historic flooding continues to impact several states throughout the country. |
The
South Carolina volunteers will be assisting in a variety of ways while
deployed. Some volunteers will assist in providing hot meals to those who need
them and others will be operating shelters. Their deployments will last between
two and three weeks.
More than 585 people spent Sunday night in 20 Red Cross and
community shelters due to flooding in Mississippi, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. In areas where it is safe to do so, Red
Cross Emergency Response Vehicles are going through neighborhoods, distributing
food and relief supplies.
The Palmetto SC Region of the Red Cross stands ready to send
additional volunteers, as needed.
