Indiana Red Cross volunteers are going to South Carolina to help flood victims.
The rainfall has set records over the state, flooded entire towns and killed at least six people.
Indiana Red Cross spokeswoman Ann Gregson says the volunteers are on the way.
“The majority of folks that are going today and tomorrow are shelter workers,” Gregson says. “Some of them are seasoned veterans and some of them are brand new.”
Gregson says volunteers will help with some very basic tasks the rain has made harder.
“Got a historic flooding going on in North and South Carolina and it’ll be things like feeding people, making sure they have a comfortable, dry place to stay,” Gregson says.
Still, Gregson says the Indiana organization is short on local volunteers who could respond to a crisis in the Hoosier State.
