American Red Cross volunteer Steve Mahler of Rawson is being deployed to Durham, N.C., as part of the Red Cross response to Hurricane Florence.  Mahler will be serving with the Disaster Assessment team.

This is his third recent deployment.  In July, Steve deployed to Des Moines, Iowa, serving as a Recovery specialist following flooding in the city.   He then deployed to Marshalltown, Iowa, after a tornado struck the community as part of the Disaster Assessment team.

Mahler will be leaving from Toledo Express Airport early Sept. 13 for a two week deployment.
