BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — The American Red Cross of Western and Central New York is stepping up to the plate to help those impacted by Hurricane Ian.

As of Sunday night, two dozen local disaster volunteers are on the way, or on standby to head into the disaster zone.

Two of them left from Silver Creek Sunday morning with an emergency response vehicle.

They are used to provide two hot meals to storm victims every day, as well as bottled water and snacks.

They also take information from people, trying to asses their greater needs.

This pair of longtime volunteers is going to Orlando, where they will receive their final assignments.
