The people of the the Gulf Coast need your help!
The American Red Cross response to the Hurricanes affecting
the Gulf coast and southeast U.S. is ongoing with shelters
open in 8 states to keep families safe from the devastation.
The first priority during this disaster is to provide people
and families with food, shelter and emotional support.
Donate Now!
Your donations to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund
will be used to ensure that the Red Cross can operate
shelters and provide meals for evacuees, victims and clean
up workers. These funds will enable us to buy things
like food, cots, blankets, toiletries and clean up supplies.
Donations also help us move our volunteers to the areas
where help is needed.
Donors can go online to www.redcross.org
or call 1-800-REDCROSS. You can also use your
cell phone to donate $5 to the American Red Cross Disaster
Relief Fund by text messaging the keyword "GIVE" to "2HELP"
(24357).
If you wish to designate your donation to a specific
disaster, you should call 1-800-REDCROSS.
Are you Red Cross Ready?
As we have already learned
this summer, we remind ourselves how susceptible
we are to Severe Storms and Tornados.
Now is the time to bring your family together and
prepare for these and other types of emergencies.
Disasters can strike quickly and most times with little or no
warning.
The best way to make sure you and your family are safe is to be
prepared before disaster strikes.
At the Red Cross, we encourage you
to:
Get a Kit
Make A Plan
Be Informed
The Iowa Great Lakes Chapter has detailed information on how
to make a Disaster Plan for your home, school, workplace and
community.
Stop by our office Monday-Friday
from 8am to 5pm to pick up these valuable and life-saving
brochures.
Keep the items that you would most likely
need during an evacuation in an easy-to carry
container.
Food
Store at least a three-day supply of
non-perishable food. Select foods that require
no refrigeration, preparation or cooking, and
little or no water. If you must heat food, pack
a can of sterno. Select food items that are
compact and lightweight.

your Disaster Supplies Kit:
Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, and
vegetables
