Probably not. The Red Cross will still respond to local disasters, provide services to local men and women in the armed forces, and teach life saving skills such as CPR and the use of AEDs. They're able to perform these services due to the financial donations about the American People. The only real change is that residents of Lamar County have asked Atlantans to shoulder more of this financial burden.
