Hurricane Season is Here - Are You Prepared? |
Local Disasters
The most common local disaster
is the family fire. Every day, fires leave families homeless and devastated. When tragedy
strikes, the South Central Connecticut Red Cross offers to provide for victims'
immediate needs, such as clothing, food, emergency shelter and mental
health. |
State

As

your travel expenses. |

| If you have
been affected by a disaster, this website provides a way for you to
register yourself as “safe and well.” From a list of standard
messages, you can select those that you want to communicate to your
family members, letting them know of your well-being. Concerned
family and friends can search the list of those who have registered
themselves as “safe and well.” |
