The American Red Cross is sending people from across the country to help with recovery efforts for Hurricane Florence. Some of the volunteers and workers are coming from Riverside County.

Hurricane Florence has affected 80,000 homes and forced people out of their neighborhoods by the masses.

“We know that this was a very large and a very wide-spread storm, so we made sure we had the access to cover that,” American Red Cross Communications Director and Hemet resident, Tony Briggs, said.

Right now, the Red Cross has 3,000 people on the ground in five districts, all coming from different parts of the country.
