Local Red Cross receives new shelter trailer
Friday, November 26, 2010
The Greater Ozarks Chapter of the American Red Cross-Nevada office has a new shelter trailer that was purchased with Homeland Security Money for Region D. The trailer will be housed in Nevada and will be moved around the area as needed. The trailer contains 100 cots, 200 blankets, 100 disposable pillows, 100 comfort kits (contains personal hygiene items) and a shelter kit. The trailer can be deployed in a matter of minutes. The Nevada office has many individuals who have been trained to set up and operate a shelter if the need arises. Having obtained this trailer, the chapter is even more prepared with needed items, said local director Peggy Tedlock.
