In Mississippi the Red Cross opened 42 shelters as Hurricane Isaac approached. More than 5,000 individuals stayed in those shelters. In addition the Red Cross had 34 fixed or mobile feeding sites set up for those in the worst hit areas. Nearly 1,400 Red Cross Disaster workers have or still are providing help.
