Red Cross accommodation crunch

We've all read or heard about people who are displaced by a fire or other serious emergency situation and the Red Cross is called in to help. And in many cases, people find family or friends to stay with for the long term. But what happens in those first few hours? And how is the current tourism season and accommodation crunch affecting the work of these first responders? Bill Lawlor is the director of Atlantic government and strategic relations for the Red Cross. He says with hotels at capacity, they've been turning to short-term accomodations like AirBnB and campgrounds. For events like what is happening with potential evacuations because of the forest fires in Newfoundland and Labrador, they take a different approach. But there's no shortage of people who want to help, even when there's a shortage of accommodations.
