A Red Cross spokesperson said their team members assisted two individuals affected by the fire by coordinating emergency aid and offered “emergency financial aid, health and mental health services, personalized support to link individuals to available recovery aid, and ongoing assistance to meet the family’s needs resulting from the disaster.”

Because hospital patients still require life-saving blood, neighbors continue to need essentials like food, shelter, and care post-disasters, and military families seek support, they are hoping the public can help in any way.
