>>Lt. Col. Pete Brooks, a spokesman for the South Carolina National Guard, said more than a fifth of the state’s Army National Guard and Air Guard members were deployed to Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and Cuba. The deployment took the Guard’s best large dump trucks, backhoes and other heavy equipment with it. “The engineers we have here could operate chain saws, but most of their trucks are in Iraq,” Brooks told The State newspaper of Columbia. Likewise, half of North Carolina’s 12,000 National Guard troops are either deployed or on active alert, state officials told The Associated Press. The American Red Cross, meanwhile, said its Disaster Relief Fund was empty. Without an infusion of new donations, hurricane-hit East Coast residents could expect it to provide only the most immediate basic needs: food, clothing, shelter and medicine replacement. Alan McCurry, the Red Cross’ chief operating officer, described the disaster fund with an analogy: “If you were driving your car, the needle would be bouncing on zero.” The charity said in a statement that it spent $114.3 million from July 1, 2002, to this June 30 but took in only $39.5 million. It appealed for public donations on its Web site, www.redcross.org, or by calling 1-800-HELP-NOW.<< msnbc.com
