Today's
American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing
military. Using the latest in computer and telecommunications
technology, the Red Cross allows military members
stationed all over the world to send messages to loved
ones back home during an emergency or other important
events. These communications are delivered around-the-clock,
seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Families in the
Central Virginia Chapter area call 1-800-951-5600
for any Armed Forces Emergency Services needs.
Hundreds
of Red Cross chapters brief departing service members
and their families regarding available support services
and explain how the Red Cross may assist them during
the deployment. Both active duty and community-based
military can count on the Red Cross to provide emergency
communications that link them with their families
back home, access to financial
assistance, counseling
and assistance to veterans.
Red
Cross Armed Forces Emergency Services personnel serve
in nearly 1,000 chapters in the United States, on
109 military installations around the world and alongside
our troops wherever they may go.
