Services to Families and Individuals The Red Cross is ready to help when families or individuals are struck by disaster, such as a house fire, collapse, or other incident that leaves a dwelling uninhabitable. We can provide temporary lodging and funds for food and clothing to tide you over for a few days until your insurance kicks in or you can make other arrangements. If you find yourself in such a situation, call (609)267-9595 for help. We also have a variety of brochures and booklets filled with information that will help you learn how to prepare your home and family in the event of a disaster or weather event. If you would like more information, call the chapter office at the number above. Disaster Action TeamThe Red Cross depends on volunteers to provide disaster services. If you are interested in lending a hand, consider becoming a member of the Disaster Action Team. Training is provided free of charge to interested individuals. For more information, contact Gayle Lynch at (609)267-9595. |
As a Category 4 hurricane, Isabel is capable of causing widespread damages should it make landfall later this week. Burlington County residents have been fortunate in recent years to have been largely spared the effects of damaging hurricanes and tornadoes, but that may not always be the case. There are some simple things you can do to be prepared. NOAA Hurricane Preparedness is a brochure in PDF format that you can download. Other links: Hurricane : a National Red Cross web page on how to prepare. Against the Wind (225KB .PDF): how to prepare your property for wind. |
