Days after Hurricane Isaias made landfall, communities across the Gulf Coast are beginning to assess the storm's impact. More than 177,000 customers remain without power across Florida, Alabama and the Carolinas, and some areas continue to face flooding and hazardous conditions.
Over 460 Red Cross disaster responders are working alongside local officials and community partners to help people affected by the storm.
• At the height of the storm, the Red Cross opened or supported 21 evacuation centers across Florida, Mississippi and Alabama, providing a safe place for people to shelter.
• As communities assess damage, disaster teams are identifying where help is needed most and preparing to distribute meals, drinking water and relief supplies in affected areas.
• Red Cross volunteers from across the country have deployed emergency response vehicles to help deliver critical supplies directly to affected neighborhoods.
