With local students starting a new school year over the next couple of weeks, the American Red Cross has steps everyone can follow to make the trip back to the classrooms a safe one.
The American Red Cross says International Paper has authorized a $500,000 critical community need disaster relief grant to the agency to help with recent flooding in Louisiana.
Flood waters are still covering a good portion of the area. One of the hardest hit areas is South Bossier Parish, and now the American Red Cross is sending teams to the parish to assess damage.
