EMIFPA Fire Info – November 5, 2015: American Red Cross
by John Helmich
EM Residents,
The American Red Cross, one of the critical agencies who will be responding in case of a wildfire, wanted us to inform everyone that they are also available if your family suffers loss in a structure fire, not just wildfire scenarios.
EMIFPA recommends that you also contact them for purposes of preparedness. This way you will know in advance what is available to you should you need temporary assistance, especially housing. Their national contact number is 800-733-2767. If you are working on preparedness planning, please make sure you let them know this.
