En este momento, nuestra prioridad es satisfacer las necesidades urgentes de los afectados al ofrecer refugio seguro, comidas, apoyo emocional y servicios de salud.
As the full extent of the damage left by Hurricane Isaias becomes clear, here's what to know about Red Cross services and how to get help.
How the Red Cross is Helping:
Over 400 trained disaster workers are providing comfort and relief to those affected by Hurricane Isaias across the Gulf Coast, with hundreds more on their way. Once it is safe to do so, our teams will travel through affected communities to assess damage, provide meals, and distribute relief supplies. Right now, our priority is meeting the urgent needs of those affected by providing safe shelter, meals, emotional support and health services.
Safety Tips for the Immediate Aftermath:
• Avoid unnecessary travel to help keep roads clear for emergency vehicles. Return home only when local officials say it is safe, and keep monitoring local updates, as conditions can change quickly.
• Stay away from floodwaters. Storm drains, culverts and ditches may be hidden beneath the water and can cause serious injury.
• If you're using a generator, keep it outside and away from doors, windows and vents to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
How to Find a Shelter:
• If you need a safe place to stay, please come to a Red Cross shelter. You can find locations by visiting redcross.org/shelters, downloading the Red Cross Emergency app, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
• Even if you don't stay overnight, you can come to a shelter to shower, charge your devices, get food or access resources.
Tips for Contacting Loved Ones:
Widespread power outages and limited connectivity can make communication difficult. Try calling during off-peak hours for the best chance of getting through. Send a text message, which may go through when phone calls cannot, and check your loved one's social media accounts for updates.
