The American Red Cross is not a government agency and all Red Cross disaster assistance is free thanks to the generosity of people like you. Ninety-two cents of every dollar donated to the American Red Cross is spent on programs and services that help people in need. What's more, the value of your donation is increased by the fact that the ratio of volunteer Red Cross workers to paid staff is almost 150 to one. The San Juan Chapter is also a partner in funding with the United Way.

Tornado & Hurricane Recommendations:

To stay safe and recover from a tornado or hurricane, the Red Cross recommends the following:

- Continue listening to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio for updated information and instructions.

- If you are away from home, return only when authorities say it is safe to do so.

- Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and sturdy shoes when examining your walls, doors, staircases and windows for damage.

- Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines and report them to the utility company immediately.

- Stay out of damaged buildings.

- Use battery-powered flashlights when examining buildings – do NOT use candles.

- If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window and get everyone out of the building quickly and call the gas company or fire department.

- Take pictures of damage, both of the building and its contents, for insurance claims.

- Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

- Keep all of your animals under your direct control.

- Clean up spilled medications, bleaches, gasoline or other flammable liquids that could become a fire hazard.

- Check for injuries. If you are trained, provide first aid to persons in need until emergency responders arrive.

The Red Cross encourages those in tornado-prone areas to use the Tornado Safety Checklist, which provides information on what you can do before, during and after a tornado strikes. 

Change a life, starting with your own by donating to the American Red Cross Campaign for Disaster Relief.  Your gift to the Disaster Relief Fund will bring the Red Cross closer to the national goal of $100 million to aid victims of disasters.

In-Kind Contributions (Donate Goods)

In this day of corporate downsizing and consolidations, businesses are looking for ways to do more with less. This trend has impacted the way businesses contribute to charitable organizations. Instead of cash contributions, many companies today are finding that in-kind giving (donated goods or services) is easier on the bottom line, and often just as meaningful to the recipient as a cash contribution. And non-profit organizations like the Red Cross are finding that the expertise and resources common in the for-profit world can sometimes help in ways that money can't.
If you or someone you know can donate any of the following items to help carry out the humanitarian work of the San Juan Red Cross, please contact the Office at 505-325-9605.
