The American Red Cross continues to respond to a series of powerful storms that, for much of the past two months, have brought large amounts of rain and high winds to Northern California. Impacts from the storm systems have included heavy precipitation, strong winds, and flooding.
During the storms, the Red Cross workers in the Northern California Coastal Region have worked closely with the entire response community — federal, state, county and local agencies, non-profit and faith-based organizations, area businesses, and others — to coordinate relief efforts and deliver help to impacted families so they can access resources to help them with their recovery.
