Disaster volunteers are preparing to respond to flooding in Deweyville along the Sabine River.

The American Red Cross volunteers and staff have been on standby since mid last week as rains fell across Texas.

Throughout the weekend you could find Red Cross workers checking water flows, roads for accessibility and preparing supplies for shelter openings. Activities are in final stages today as the shelter trailer is ready to roll, volunteers are coordinating the weeks schedule for 24 hour coverage, meal prep is taking place and everyone waits for the call of activation.

At this time the Orange County Chapter of the Red Cross plans to open a shelter in the Deweyville area, provide meals from the Red Cross Truck, and the return to home clean up kits to help families restore their homes.
