Posted on FlashAlert: August 7th, 2014 3:09 PM
The American Red Cross Cascades Region continues to provide support for people affected by the Rowena Wildfire, which still burns just west of The Dalles, Ore. Last night more than 20 local residents visited the Red Cross shelter, and 15 individuals spent the night. The shelter at Hallow Creek Elementary remains open and is located at 1314 East 19th Street in The Dalles. Red Cross volunteers from across Oregon and Southwest Washington are available to provide snacks, meals, water, comfort kits and disaster health and disaster mental health services.
In addition to providing disaster relief resources, Red Cross volunteers are actively out in the local community canvassing neighborhoods with disaster preparedness information, which includes important tips about what to do before, during and after a wildfire. To learn how to stay safe during a wildfire, people can find resources here (http://www.redcross.org/prepare/disaster/wildfire) or other useful information by downloading the free American Red Cross Wildfire App (http://www.redcross.org/mobile-apps/wildfire-app).
Residents seeking additional information about the Rowena Wildfire are invited to attend a community meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at The Dalles High School located at 220 E 10th Street. Red Cross volunteers will be providing water, preparedness information and answering questions about available Red Cross resources at tonight's meeting.
