Red Cross Needs Volunteers
The American Red Cross is asking for volunteers to help others, especially during the upcoming hurricane season, when and if disaster strikes.
Hurricane season runs from June to November. Volunteers are also needed during wildfires and other situations. The Northern New England Region of the American Red Cross is looking for additional and new volunteers to be ready for deployment during disasters.
"Emergencies don’t stop and neither does the work of the Red Cross," James Segerson, regional disaster officer for the Northern New England Region of the Red Cross, said. We’re working to make sure we can provide critical help in times of disaster. Train now to be a Red Cross volunteer and answer the call to help people in urgent need. You can make real difference."
Forecasters predicted between 13 to 19 storms including six to 10 hurricanes for 2020.
