Maryland offers help to West Virginia flood victims

REISTERSTOWN, Md. —Cleanup efforts continued Tuesday across much of West Virginia after devastating and deadly floods.

Thousands of homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed by powerful floods that left 23 people dead.

A number of Maryland organizations are either sending resources or are prepared to send resources to West Virginia.

The American Red Cross, Greater Chesapeake Region, has sent about a half-dozen volunteers and an emergency response vehicle to West Virginia.

"Because of our proximity to West Virginia, I think there's a fairly good possibility we might get some additional calls for deployments," said Brittany Fowler, with the American Red Cross, Greater Chesapeake Region.
