Officials with the Red Cross in North Carolina reportedly said their focus may need to move from the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in Texas to Hurricane Irma, which could hit the East Coast.
“We put a hold on sending volunteers from the mid-Atlantic states,” Red Cross Regional Officer Barry Porter said, as reported by CBS affiliate WNCN-TV.
“There is still a lot of other states to send volunteers from, but because of this pending threat to Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina we’ve asked those volunteers to hold, update their records, and help us here in the Carolina’s if we need them.”
