Red Cross helping in southern California as thousands face unimaginable loss

Red Cross helping in southern

As Californians cope with the trauma and massive destruction from the wildfires, more than 400 American Red Cross workers are helping to ensure no one faces this heartbreaking time alone. We’re working closely with our partners to provide food, shelter, emotional support and other critical aid.

 

 

 

 

 

A week after the fires first sparked, as many as 92,000 people are still under mandatory evacuation orders. The threat isn’t over as dangerous fire weather conditions continue with winds as strong as 70 mph fanning the flames. Many utilities are being shut off to help prevent new fires. Now is the time for people to remain vigilant, be prepared to evacuate and follow instructions from local officials.

RED CROSS RESPONSE Tuesday morning more than 700 evacuees woke up in Red Cross shelters, many of whom are struggling after losing everything. We want people to know that our shelters are a safe place for everyone. We don’t ask for identification, and you don’t have to stay overnight to get help. Find shelter locations on redcross.org, the free Red Cross Emergency app or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).

Disaster health volunteers are caring for minor injuries and replacing things like eyeglasses and medications for those in our shelters, and mental health workers are providing emotional support to those experiencing unimaginable loss.

 

Red Cross caseworkers are also helping shelter residents create personal plans for their next steps and connect them with other community resources. The top priority is housing, but we’re also helping people with transportation, health care, childcare and other needs.
