Red Cross Closes Four Colorado Flood Assistance Centers, Keeps Helpline Open
The disaster assistance centers in Durango, Pagosa Springs, La Jara and Del Norte, Colorado, have now closed, the American Red Cross said in a November 11 update. Residents in southwestern Colorado and the San Luis Valley who may still need assistance due to the recent floods can call 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).
The centers had been opened from November 5 by the Red Cross of Colorado and Wyoming with partners to serve residents affected by recent flooding, offering health, mental health, spiritual care and casework services while they operated. The Red Cross said assistance continues by phone even though the centers have closed.
The American Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that shelters, feeds and provides comfort to victims of disasters, supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood, and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public.
