Red River Flooding

The Red River in Minnesota and North Dakota is expected to reach flooding level today.

Local staff and volunteers have been operating mobile feeding operations in partnership with the Salvation Army. Sandbagging operations have been in progress during the last couple weeks.

National Red Cross volunteers and resources have been called to action and a leadership team will be going to North Dakota today.

The local chapter also activated a Red Cross Disaster Mental Health team to help. These volunteer teams will be on hand to let families know what to expect physically and emotionally in the days ahead.
