Local Red Cross volunteer heading to Florida for Hurricane Dorian

“Specifically, I’ll be doing communications,” Clark told Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist McCall Vrydaghs.

Clark’s deployment is expected to last at least two weeks, however he said he typically deploys in these kinds of scenarios for around four to five weeks.

Cory Paul, the executive director of the Dayton Chapter of the American Red Cross, said many of the volunteers preparing for potential deployments to assist with Dorian also assisted with local recovery efforts following the Memorial Day tornadoes.
