Barry downgraded

Tropical Storm Barry was downgraded as it approached Tampa.  While there is a significant amount of rainfall projected for the path of the remaining tropical depression – all watches and warnings.

While local chapters may continue to respond to localized flash-flooding, there are no plans to stage a large-scale mobilization.  Families are still urged to check their personal preparedness level for the remainder of the season.  A good place to start would be the Be Red Cross Ready site (link to the right.)
