Oregon Volunteers Help After Nevada Earthquake
  

Even though yesterday's 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit in a sparsely populated area of northern Nevada, there are still survivors to help and damage to assess. For that reason, the Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross will send two local volunteers to help with disaster response and recovery efforts.

Carol Gross of Beaverton and Carolyn Shawgo of Seaside will be providing mental health support to those affected and will depart for Nevada tomorrow. Both are willing to talk to the media about their deployment; please call Red Cross public affairs to arrange an interview.
