Provide Services Like… Armed Forces Emergency Services Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, the American Red Cross is there providing for military members and their families, delivering family emergency messages. The Rio Colorado Chapter helps local families keep in touch and provides timely, accurate and verified information following the death or serious illness of a family member, the birth of a child or other critical matters. Disaster Response Whether the disaster is a tornado, flood, hazardous chemical spill, or a single family fire, the Rio Colorado Chapter provides immediate emergency assistance to families affected by the disaster. This assistance includes vouchers for immediate shelter and food, temporary housing, groceries, clothing, basic household items, or vital medication. In addition to basic assistance, the Rio Colorado Chapter may provide items lost in a disaster, such as eyeglasses or even crisis counseling. Client’s needs are determined on a case-by-case basis.

Age appropriate presentations train local residents in hurricane preparedness skills and other lifesaving tips for disaster preparedness.
