The areas specifically impacted include the Alabama counties of Colbert, Dekalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Morgan, and the Southern Tennessee Counties of Lincoln and Lawrence. The mission of the American Red Cross is to provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Mary Moreillon, Executive Director for the Madison/Marshall County Chapter and regional area reports “last fiscal year, over 62,000 residents in the Tennessee Valley area participated in American Red Cross Health and Safety programs.
