At least 10 volunteers from the Illinois region are on their way to Florida to join the more than 900 volunteers already providing aid.
Red Cross officials say thousands of emergency vehicles loaded with supplies were positioned in Florida before Ian made landfall.
The CEO of the American Red Cross Illinois Region, Celena Roldan, says at least 10 volunteers from the Illinois region are on their way to Florida to join the more than 900 volunteers already providing aid. There are over 100 active shelters in Florida supported by the American Red Cross. Other volunteers are on the ground providing health services and mental health support. "The American Red Cross will be there as long as we are needed, and we know that we are going to be there for months. This is going to be a very long recovery," Roldan said.
