Red Cross opens disaster assistance centers in Arkansas

The American Red Cross is opening Disaster Assistance Centers in Hardy, West Memphis, and Little Rock to support residents affected by recent tornadoes, flooding, and severe storms in Arkansas. These centers will provide information and assess eligibility for financial assistance for those whose homes were damaged, with specific dates and locations outlined for each city. Residents unable to attend in person can start the registration process online at redcross.org/gethelp or contact 1-800-RED-CROSS for more information. Emotional support is also available through the Disaster Distress Helpline. The initiative covers all impacted areas, including Crittenden County, and aims to provide a centralized point of contact for those seeking aid. The Red Cross encourages affected individuals to utilize these resources to begin recovery and rebuilding efforts.
