HURRICANE ZETA - Once again, the American Red Cross is responding from Louisiana to the Carolinas while continuing to help thousands of people struggling to recover from Hurricanes Laura, Delta and Sally which devastated some of the same areas along the Gulf Coast.

• On Thursday, October 29th, 65 people sought overnight refuge in emergency lodging in Mississippi in response to Hurricane Zeta. Thousands more remained in emergency lodging from earlier storms.
• The Red Cross is helping with damage assessment and is working with state and local emergency officials to determine what other help is needed.
• Hundreds of Red Cross disaster workers are still responding along the Gulf Coast as people struggle to recover from Hurricanes Laura, Sally and Delta.
• More than 3,800 people are still in emergency lodgings from these earlier storms.
• The Red Cross has also provided over 9,800 households with emergency financial assistance to help them replace essential items and begin to recover after hurricanes.
• It’s important to remember that responding to disasters is a team effort and no single organization can do it alone — this is particularly true during the ongoing pandemic.
