The
American Red Cross is addressing the needs of Hurricane Florence survivors by
reserving $3.8 million for a grant program that supports recovery services
and extends the impact of current direct relief and financial assistance
programs. This phase of recovery will prioritize the most vulnerable survivors
in communities with the fewest recovery funding and service resources. These
populations include, but are not limited to:

school-aged and younger

Culturally
isolated communities, i.e., racial, ethnic or socio-economic groups

Carolina.
