The American Red Cross in Nassau County is assisting the victims of an apartment building fire last night, Wednesday, January 31, at 102 West Hudson Street in Long Beach. Approximately 10 Red Cross staff and volunteers responded to the scene to meet the immediate needs of those affected. The American Red Cross currently has two outreach teams working with four families affected by the fire by providing them with housing at the Long Beach Motor Inn, vouchers for food and new clothing at nearby merchants, and referrals to other social service agencies. The American Red Cross will conduct follow up casework with the victims. The Red Cross provides disaster assistance to victims of fires, storms, floods, hurricanes, and other occurrences.
Assistance is free and is made possible by financial contributions from the community.
