GET HELP FROM THE RED CROSS

Each year, the American Red Cross responds immediately to more than 67,000 disasters, including house or apartment fires (the majority of disaster responses), hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous material spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other natural and man-made disasters.

The American Red Cross can provide two types of assistance after a disaster – hard and soft.  Hard assistance provides material items and may include feeding, shelter, clean-up kits, comfort kits and financial assistance.  Soft assistance minimizes immediate disaster-caused suffering through listening, guidance, advocacy, and counseling.
