Local Red Cross Office
|
The Red Cross provides emergency communication between military personnel and their families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We assist military members with urgent messages regarding the birth of a child, serious illness or death of loved ones. Counseling and financial assistance is also available through the Military Aid Society for members of the military and their families to deal with emergencies. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces don't have to be actively deployed to benefit from American Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services. The Red Cross provides services to more than 1.5 million active duty military members as well as for the Reserves and National Guard. American Red Cross services are available to all branches of service. If the Reservist is away from home due to military duty and the family needs to get in touch with him or her during an emergency, select this link to find out how to use the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross wants members of the military to get to know us before you need us. All too often, service members don't know about available Red Cross services until they are mobilized. Knowing in advance that communication links, access to financial assistance and counseling will be available in an emergency brings peace of mind to the military and to the families from which they are separated. The Serving Military Families Worldwide pamphlet (ARC 2081) can be obtained from your local Red Cross. Locally, 116 messages were verified and relayed in 2006. |
