“The Corps of Engi

outreach for future scientists
and engineers,” said Laurie
Rice, a hydraulic engineer
who helps manage river
flows in the Portland Dis
trict. “To support this great
learning opportunity, the
Corps will reduce flows so
students and scientist can
learn about how a watershed
works.” Although unlikely,
Rice noted the Corps may
not be able to reduce water
flows if a heavy rainstorm
or other waterevent happens

tion’s premier emergency
response organization. As
part of a worldwide move
ment that offers neutral
humanitarian care to the
victims of war, the Ameri
can Red Cross distinguishes
itself by also aiding victims
of devastating natural di
sasters. Over the years, the
organization has expanded
its services, always with the
aim of preventing and re
lieving suffering. Some four
million people give blood,
the gift of life, through the
Red Cross, making it the
largest supplier of blood and
blood products in the United
States. And the Red Cross
helps thousands of U.S.
service members separated
from their families by mili
tary duty stay connected.
As part of the International
Red Cross and Red Cres
cent Movement, a global
network of 186 national so
cieties, the Red Cross helps
restore hope and dignity to
the world's most vulnerable
people.
An average of 91
cents of every dollar the Red
Cross spends is invested in
humanitarian services and
programs. The Red Cross is
not a government agency; it
relies on donations of time,
money, and blood to do its
work.
