Today, more than 250 trained Red Cross disaster workers are on the ground in Kentucky — with dozens more in other locations — providing shelter, meals, emotional support and replacing prescription medications, eyeglasses or critical medical equipment, like canes and wheelchairs, which were left behind in the rush to get to safety.
