The American Red Cross of Alaska announced that three volunteers have been sent from different regions of Alaska to support efforts in Los Angeles, California, where wildfires have caused widespread damage.
These volunteers, from Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Southeast Alaska, will assist in providing essential services such as food, shelter, and emotional support for those affected.
Red Cross of Alaska CEO Tanguy Libbrecht shared that the volunteers’ mission is not just about physical aid. “They’ll also provide mental health care and spiritual support for folks who’ve lost everything,” Libbrecht explained, emphasizing the emotional toll such disasters have on survivors.
The Red Cross in Alaska is prepared to deploy more volunteers if needed and continues to seek additional support from residents who are willing to help.
“Alaskans take pride in lending a hand,” Libbrecht added. “It’s heartening to see our community come together to offer comfort to those in need.”
In addition to the Red Cross, the Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire has also sent personnel to assist in managing the wildfire crisis in California.
They remain ready to deploy more resources if the situation worsens.
The wildfires in Los Angeles have destroyed homes, displaced families, and strained emergency response teams. The support from Alaskan volunteers is crucial as California continues to battle the fires.
For anyone in Alaska interested in volunteering, the Red Cross encourages visits to their website for more information on how to get involved. Every helping hand counts in bringing relief to disaster-stricken areas.
