<p>According to <em>ABC 33/40, </em>the Red Cross is preparing for an extended relief effort. Marcus Newell, Regional Disaster Officer for the Red Cross in Alabama, says the organization hopes to have volunteers in the hardest hit areas for 30 to 40 days. &#8220;Volunteers that have been assigned already, volunteers that will be deploying in the near future in the next day or two to provide support whether it&#8217;s in sheltering or feeding whatever the needs might be as they arise.&#8221;</p>
<p>Seven emergency response feeding vehicles will be leaving Alabama on Monday stocked with food and water. The Red Cross is in need of more volunteers who can commit to spending two weeks out of state. They will quickly have you trained and on your way to help Harvey victims in a matter of days. Even if you can&#8217;t commit to volunteering, the Red Cross is always in need of <a href="https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donations</a> to be able to continue its relief efforts.</p>
<p>The victims of Hurricane Harvey remain in the thoughts and prayers of everyone across Alabama and the nation.<div class="h5ab-print-button-container"><div class="h5ab-print-button h5ab-print-button-right" style="cursor: pointer; color: #555"><i class="fa fa-print fa-lg"></i>

		<p>I have several questions about the Harvey Disaster.</p>
<p>1. The majority of the Texas Republican Delegation voted against an aid package for the survivors of Super Storm Sandy. I would love to see their justification for that vote. How would they now vote about a similar package for Texas? </p>
<p>2. How many of the homes did not have Flood Insurance? What will be the possible outcome. My guess is that flood insurance was not required for the mortgage in many areas. Will the Texas Republicans vote to defund the relief operation?</p>
<p>3. The clean up and rebuilding will be a massive operation.  Where will the labor come from? If I remember correctly, immigrants were used in the New Orleans area. Would illegals be rounded up by ICE, if they were working on the clean up and restoration or would they relax the rules to get the areas in Texas and Louisiana.</p>

		<p>They did with Super Storm Sandy. FEMA is a socialist operation and the money given out is pure socialism. As Cruz would say, &#8220;Socialism is bad for New Your and New Jersey, but good for Texas.&#8221;</p>

		<p>It works only in case of flood. Maybe 10% had flood insurance, because of the elevation. They will still owe their mortgage.</p>
