Disaster Services

DISASTER SERVICES: Red Cross aid to clients is an outright gift. It is provided by voluntary contributions from the American People. All Red Cross Disaster help is free. The clients are residents of Crawford County who are victims of fires, floods, tornados or any other type of natural disaster.

Disaster Services also provides free classes to those interested in volunteering. For more information on classes, call the American Red Cross of Crawford County office at 419 562 4357.

There is a great need for volunteers to become members of our Disaster Action Team (DAT). These members respond in times of disaster within Crawford County.

Services for the Military

AFES: Today's American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing military. Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the Red Cross allows military members stationed all over the world to send messages to loved ones back home during an emergency or other important events. These communications are delivered around-the-clock, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

While serving 1.4 million active duty personnel, the Red Cross also reaches out to the 1.5 million members of the National Guard and the Reserves who reside in nearly every local community in America.

 

Hundreds of Red Cross chapters brief departing service members and their families regarding available support services and explain how the Red Cross may assist them during the deployment. Both active duty and community-based military can count on the Red Cross to provide emergency communications that link them with their families back home, access to financial assistance, counseling and assistance to veterans.

Red Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel serve in nearly 1,000 chapters in the United States, on 109 military installations around the world and alongside our troops in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Kosovo,  and Afghanistan.
