Regarding the Texas Gulf Coast, we are working with local emergency managers and partners to prepare for the storm:
- Four shelters are on standby — in Vidor, Orange, Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island; (addresses are not available at this time)
- Nine emergency response vehicles are activated and ready for use if there is a need to supply residents with food, water, hygiene kits or other much-needed items;
- Red Cross team members are preparing to deploy to hard-hit areas if warranted; and
- Members of our Leadership Team are prepared to deploy as well.
Right now we are carefully monitoring the situation and will keep you updated in terms of Red Cross preparation. Please do open the press release link above, which will give you information on hurricane safety, our free emergency app and more.
