The American Red Cross Hawaiçi State Chapter has put out the call for more volunteers in to help with the problems caused by Tropical Storm Felicia.
Volunteers are on standby mode to operate shelters and to feed people affected by the storm. In addition volunteers conduct disaster assessment, deliver health and mental health services and handle logistics, said Coralie Chun Matayoshi, red cross CEO.
