As Hurricane Isaias approaches the Gulf Coast, hundreds of Red Cross disaster volunteers are dedicated to helping people and communities impacted by dangerous weather in the days ahead.
Our teams are closely monitoring the storm, pre-positioning emergency relief supplies, coordinating with local partners, and standing ready to provide shelter, meals and comfort if needed.
If you live in the storm's potential path, now is the time to review your emergency plan, monitor local weather updates, and make sure you have essential supplies on hand.
Take a look at what to know, how to stay safe, and ways to support those who may be impacted by the storm. #Isaias

The text below the map states that Hurricane Isaias will bring dangerous weather to these regions throughout the weekend. The map includes various weather watch and warning symbols. Source: NOAA.
ALT A safety guide titled "How to Stay Safe" with four tips. 1. Secure items outside to prevent them from being picked up by high winds. 2. Move to higher ground before flooding begins. 3. Stay away from glass windows and doors. 4. Don't touch floodwaters due to possible sewage contamination.
ALT The image is titled "How to Help." It emphasizes that financial donations are the most flexible way to support before, during, and after a disaster. It instructs to text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to donate.

From coast to coast, Red Cross disaster teams are on the move!
📍In Gulf Coast states, volunteers are mobilizing teams and preparing supplies for the arrival of Hurricane Francine. The storm is expected to strengthen before it makes landfall in Louisiana.
📍 Out West, massive wildfires fueled by extreme temperatures continue to burn, forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. Local disaster teams are caring for people in shelters and encouraging everyone to heed evacuation orders and prepare for prolonged power outages.
How can you help? The best way to support our disaster relief efforts is to donate, which enables us to be on the ground for these raging wildfires, Francine, and other extreme weather events happening across the country now and in the future. Whatever you give today will help people affected by disasters big and small: rdcrss.org/4dYTJ1t
