Also, the Red Cross says there are now 12 volunteers from the Red Cross’ Western NY Region, five of them from the Southern Tier, at least one of them from Steuben County, and they have been deployed to assist with relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.  They have been assigned to operations taking place in Northern Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.  They are part of a massive effort now underway by the American Red Cross to help those in areas devastated by the storm.
