Flint River Red Cross readies for Mississippi

Posted: Updated:

About 30 Red Cross volunteers with training to help in emergency situations are posed to head west out of Albany Wednesday.

They will be deployed in Mississippi to assist with potential disaster victims that may be affected by high winds and heavy rains from Isaac, which is still a tropical storm at present.

The group will take the Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle, or ERV, when they go.

Red Cross management will make the determination as to exactly where the South Georgia contingent will go after the storm makes landfall, and when they have a chance to assess where the need will be greatest.
