Red Cross opening service center in Nickerson

A Red Cross service center will be open in Nickerson this weekend to help with flood relief efforts.

People recovering from flooding can get clean-up kits, water, box fans, bug spray, trash bags, and other supplies. This is for people whose homes were damaged or destroyed. The Red Cross criteria is below.

  • Major damage to a home is indicated by significant structural damage such as: failure to structural elements of the roof and walls; failure of the foundation to include crumbling, bulging, or collapsing; or a water line above the electrical outlets.
  • A home that is destroyed is one that is a total loss with damage so extensive that repair is not feasible as indicated by: complete failure of two or more major structural components, e.g. collapse of basement walls, foundation, load-bearing walls or roof; or where only the foundation remains.
  • Eligible households include those whose:
    • Primary, pre-disaster residence is located in one of the impacted zip codes in Kansas (proof that the applicant is the legal owner or lessee of the residence is required); and
    • Primary, pre-disaster residence was destroyed or sustained major damage from the flooding (verified the Red Cross).

This service center will be open noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. It is located at the Nickerson EMS building at 5 West Ave. B.
