from the local chapter of the American Red Cross have arranged for shelter for two Chattanooga families displaced
this morning when flooding caused a sewage backup in their Campbell
Street duplex.
The Red Cross provided shelter in a local motel, food and will follow
up to see that additional needs are met. The Red Cross has also followed
up with the Chattanooga Hamilton County Health Department to make them aware of
the situation.
