Allegany County Red Cross volunteer to assist with tropical storms in Texas

The American Red Cross is on the ground in California, providing help where dozens of dangerous wildfires have force tens of thousands of people to leave their homes, and preparing to shelter and support families from Texas to Florida as two different tropical storms threaten the Gulf Coast over the coming days. 12 volunteers from the Western New York Region are supporting Red Cross relief efforts in California, Texas, and Louisiana. Allegany County volunteer Elizabeth Shook is helping virtually. She is tasked with operations management in Texas for the tropical storms.
