The 2008 Hurricane Season began with a bang when Gustav rolled onto the shores of the Gulf Coast. The American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles responded swiftly and pro-actively to help those communities in need. In advance of the storm we pre-positioned nearly 25 volunteers and many Emergency Response Vehicles in the Gulf Coast region. As other storms threaten the United States, the American Red Cross is prepared to provide food, shelter, and mass care until conditions are safe.
