Some more volunteers from New Jersey will be heading to Florida to help with the Hurricane Michael relief efforts.

Rosie Taravella is the CEO of the Red Cross New Jersey Region. She and her husband Scott are going to Florida to volunteer for what is known as a hardship assignment.

“We’re sleeping in tents out in parking lots as the staff of the Red Cross,” Taravella says. “We’re prepared for whatever we find.”

The couple will help hurricane victims look for housing, supplies and help with rebuilding.

“It’ll be good to do this together. I think it will bring us closer together and we’re here to provide some help,” Scott says. “I want to make sure that they get it.”

Taravella and her husband are among 23 Red Cross volunteers from New Jersey now in Florida and Georgia in the wakes of the storm. At least 17 people have been killed, and dozens are unaccounted for.

“We usually divide our operation up into districts,” Taravella says. ‘There's at least three that are referred to as 'devastated.' And that's a word we don't take lightly."

More than 250,000 people are still without power following the storm.
