The American Red Cross is seeking additional disaster volunteers as more deploy to Florida and other areas, due to the impact of Hurricane Ian.

Over 700 trained Red Cross disaster workers are supporting this relief effort and hundreds more are on the way. So far, the Red Cross Cascades Region has sent 30 volunteers from Oregon and southwest Washington to Florida. More are expected to deploy in the coming days. In addition, volunteers are in Puerto Rico to assist people affected by Hurricane Fiona.

In person and virtual deployment info sessions are being scheduled. Go to : www.redcross.org/volunteer for more information.
