    I think this map is a great visual of American Red Cross disaster coverage. I didn’t even know that coverage was as far out as Colorado and Florida, or in Virginia. The Red Cross should put out more tools like this during major disaster seasons - and this is a great piece to post up in a cubicle or board (especially if you don’t work at the Red Cross).
