When individuals experience a disaster, they often face many new unknowns. The American Red Cross is here to help meet the immediate disaster-caused needs of individuals, families, and communities.
If you or someone you know has experienced a home fire or other disaster, please call (800) 733-2767 for 24/7 assistance. Red Cross Disaster Action Teams are available day and night, in person or virtually, to help with:
A safe place to stay
Food and clothing replacement
Assistance with lost eyeglasses, medications, or medical equipment
Mental health and spiritual care support
Red Cross services are free and available to everyone, regardless of race, religion, or citizenship status. Even if the home isn’t a complete loss, individuals may still be eligible for support and connection to community resources.
This month also marks 10 years of the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign, which has installed free smoke alarms, taught families fire safety, and helped save over 2,000 lives nationwide.
