Three, 2-person teams are being deployed from both the Fargo and Minot locations of the American Red Cross. Two teams from Fargo and one from Minot are driving Emergency Response Vehicles to disaster operation centers on the East Coast.Bridget

When they arrive, they will provide food, water and comfort kits to the communities most affected by Hurricane Sandy. All teams are on a 2-week deployment to the region.

These teams join the 5 person sheltering team deployed last weekend to the region.

All represent the Minn-Kota Region of the Red Cross and are residents of Minot, Valley City and Fergus Falls.
