The American Red Cross of Alaska has opened a second emergency shelter at Sterling Elementary School on the Sterling Highway to help those people who have been evacuated from their homes and directly affected by the wildfire on the Kenai Peninsula. Red Cross disaster workers are setting up a safe place to stay, offering something to drink and food to eat for those impacted. A shelter also was opened at Redoubt Elementary School, 486 West Redoubt Avenue in Soldotna, on Sunday night. Residents impacted by the wildfire are urged to come to a Red Cross shelter. The Red Cross will keep this shelter open and add new shelters as needed. Anyone planning to stay in a Red Cross shelter should bring prescription medications, extra clothing, pillows, blankets, hygiene supplies, important documents and other comfort items. Don’t forget to bring any special items for children, such as diapers, formula and toys, and family members who have unique needs. Red Cross emergency shelters cannot accept pets unless they are service animals.
