The American Red Cross has opened an emergency evacuation shelter at Canyon Del Oro (CDO) High School, offering a safe place to sleep, warm meals, and comfort.
Thanks to the partnership with Humane Society of Southern Arizona – pets are welcome and cared for at the shelter. 7 Red Cross volunteers and 2 employees supported the shelter operation Thursday distributing relief supplies-like hygiene and clean-up kits and blankets, and replacing needed medical supplies- like meds, walkers, glasses, etc.
Disaster mental health teams are providing compassionate care to those coping with trauma and uncertainty.
