After a massive, 2-mile-wide tornado swept through Oklahoma City suburbs on Monday afternoon, Kansas agencies and volunteers have been preparing for a request for help. While Oklahoma officials are still assessing the damages and needs, so far one volunteer from the Midway-Kansas Chapter of the American Red Cross has been scheduled to head to Oklahoma Tuesday.

Here is an excerpt from The Wichita Eagle’s article:

“We are just not getting any information in terms of specifics,” said Bev Morlan, regional executive director of the Midway-Kansas Chapter of the American Red Cross. “ …We expect to get requests for volunteers to go, but it takes time."

“As Oklahoma officials settle into what they need and identify specific needs, we’ll respond. Their immediate concern will be getting folks out of the area. Once shelters are set up, we can begin to set up places people can come and go.”
