Red Cross Relief Aids Half Million After West Indies Hurricane
The West Indies hurricane of September caused widespread destruction across Porto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Florida and surrounding states. Red Cross relief aided 606,410 people at its peak, with thousands more aided later as food, clothing and shelter were provided. The disaster prompted a $4,000,000 public fund and a nationwide rollout of aid deployed from Washington to Charleston, New York, and Florida, highlighted by rapid coordination, Navy support, and extensive nursing response. The Roll Call aims to recruit 6,000,000 members for continued relief and health work.
