Lubbock
county and two neighboring counties received extensive enough hail
storm damage from storms that started June 6th that Red Cross Lubbock
has officially opened up a level 2 Disaster Response Operation.
Normally,
it is quite unusual to respond this late, but after the initial
storm, many families didn't know where to turn for assistance.
It wasn't in till the local TV station KAMC did an interview with us
a week after the storm regarding our relief services that the phone
calls started in. We are still receiving calls and the relief effort
is ongoing.
Last
week we identified over 85 homes damaged. We
will be providing minor home repairs to home owners and rental
assistance to those who need to move. Also, supplies have been
distributed to those in need. Here's a in depth look at our updated
list of facts and current services provided.
