Three American Red Cross of Southern Nevada volunteers went to Texas to assist people displaced due to flooding.
Flooding has been escalating in the Houston area of Texas, causing many people to have to evacuate their homes.
The volunteers will be stationed in Livingston, Texas for 14 days to help with sheltering assistance.
The Red Cross also has shelters set up in five other counties in Texas.
The three volunteers are Tammy Brandl from Pahrump, who has been deployed 24 times, Emma Empey from Las Vegas, who has been deployed 17 times, and Marcia Frank also from Las Vegas, who has been deployed five times.
“Our Southern Nevada Red Cross volunteers are in Texas to aid those severely impacted by the floods,” said Rachel Flanigan, Executive Director of the American Red Cross Southern Nevada Chapter. “Their unwavering commitment to assisting others, not just locally but nationwide, is truly commendable. We take pride in our team’s readiness to lend a helping hand in times of need.”
