Each
year, the Central Virginia Chapter of the American
Red Cross responds to hundreds of disasters including
house or apartment fires (the majority of disaster
responses), hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes,
hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents,
explosions, and other natural and man-made disasters.
We assist disaster victims in meeting their emergency
needs to include shelter, food, clothing and emotional
support.
Whether
it is a fire, hurricane or flood it is essential that
you, your family and/or your business know about the
services available to you from the Central Virginia
Red Cross.

The
Central Virginia Chapter is here for you – please

in person to learn more about how we can help you
prepare for the unexpected or recover from a disaster.
We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
All disaster assistance is FREE and an outright gift
made possible by the donations of time and resources
from the American people.
There
are many ways you can help – become a disaster
volunteer, donate funds designated towards disaster
services, get your company involved in Disaster
Preparedness. To become a disaster volunteer,
you must go through our
