LOCAL UPDATE:
Several local volunteers were deployed to North Dakota over
the past several weeks and have been helping with the Red Cross flood
response. Initially, we sent two ERV teams - one with our ERV and one with
the ERV from Columbia. One of our Health Services staff was deployed as
well. We still have several DAT/DSHR members who continue to provide
Mass Care (feeding) to the local community, National Guard and other
responders. The tributaries of the Missouri and Red Rivers continue to
concern local officials due to flooding. The Missouri is expected to crest
next week due to warmer weather and melting snow.

How You Can Help
All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made
possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people. You
can help the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year,
disasters like Tropical Storm Dolly, by making a financial gift to the American
Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter,
food, counseling and other assistance to victims of disaster. The American Red
Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your donation to a specific
disaster please do so at the time of your donation. Call 1-800-RED CROSS or
1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund may be sent
to your local American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box
