Big Relief Job .The big relief job, Florida, will . cost over $2,000,000. Over 25,000 Florida families were affected, according to Gen. Gruenther. , Of these, nearly 4,000 have applied for assistance. Disaster help of this kind includes rebuilding and re pair of homes, and provision of needed household furnlsn. ing and occupational , tools and equipment upon which a family's livelihood depends: food, clothing, shelter,, and medical care. The local RC official point ed out that in the stricken communities ranging from the famed Florida Keys, where fishing boats, trailer camps, motels, private homes, and local business were pulveriz ed, to central Florida agri cultural areas and swamp bound coastal areas, the RC is in action. Red Cross spokesmen say over 200 specialists from 21 states have joined east coast ARC chapters in bringing needed help. Veteran AKU disaster workers have rarely seen a situaiion like this in which so many . local Red Cross volunteers themselves are disaster victims, accord ing to reports. Local Nurses Over 600 local nurses and thousands of local volunteers were on the job before the hurricane struck, setting up shelters, feeding stations, and emergency first aid units. In all, the American Red Cross is utilizing all avail able disaster relief funds and facilities. Because of the ma jor damage done by Donna, Red Cross chapters are now accepting volunteer assistance to help those affected by the hurricane.
