DUNDALK, Md. — The clean-up begins in the aftermath of Idalia, the hurricane that hit Florida.
A Dundalk native is down there helping folks who need it.
Kelli Conway is from Baltimore County. She landed in Florida on Tuesday.
It's her first time responding to a disaster.
She'll be down there in shelters, working person-to-person, helping folks whose livelihoods were taken up under them.
Conway told WMAR why she's down there.
"As soon as I heard the opportunity of them needing more people down here, I decided to jump on a plane and come down. The experience over the last few days - at this point, we’re just getting everybody settled into the shelters and determining which areas are going to need more support and aren’t going to need as much," said Conway, a volunteer with the American Red Cross.
Conway expects to help as needed over the next few weeks.
The Red Cross is accepting donations to help those affected by Hurricane Idalia.
