Idahoans Deployed To Help With Louisiana Disaster

The Red Cross has deployed five volunteers from Idaho to help with the massive flooding that's displaced tens of thousands of people from their homes in Louisiana.

At least 13 people have been killed by the flooding and the Red Cross has deployed volunteers from all 50 states.  More than 1,000 volunteers will be on the ground helping.

Trucks are arriving filled with cots, blankets, water and hygiene kits.  Shelters across Louisiana are full with over 30,000 people who've had to leave their homes.  Red Cross officials are estimating that at least $30 million is needed for the relief efforts.  Donations are needed and being accepted now at redcross.org.
