Local Red Cross volunteers placed on alert to provide help for Hurricane Earl victims

The American Red Cross Midway-Kansas Chapter has been put on standby to recruit local volunteers to assist after Hurricane Earl makes landfall at the end of the week, according to agency spokesman James Williams.

Depending on the hurricane’s path, the Red Cross could send numerous local volunteers to help families who have been displaced by flooding and wind damage.

We’ll let you know how many head to the coast after Earl has moved on.
