· Stay in touch with loved ones. Our Red Cross worldwide emergency communications network operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We can help you or your family send emergency messages regarding the death or serious illness of a family member, the birth of a child, or other family emergencies.

 

· Get verification of emergency leave information. The Red Cross can provide you and your commander with fast, reliable information to help make decisions regarding emergency leaves, deferments, compassionate reassignments, and dependency discharges.

 

· Secure emergency financial assistance. The Red Cross collaborates with the military aid societies in providing financial assistance when an urgent personal or family crisis arises—that is, when you might need financial assistance for emergency travel, burial of a loved one, or urgent health and welfare needs such as food and shelter.

 

· Obtain counseling, information, referrals, and other social needs. In addition to having Red Cross workers available to you for confidential problem solving, we can help you understand government benefits that you may be entitled to.

 

· Receive veterans services to which you are entitled. The Red Cross represents veterans and their families who seek compensation awards from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). Red Cross volunteers also serve hospitalized veterans at VA Medical Centers.

 

· With disaster assistance, health and safety and HIV/AIDS education, and volunteer opportunities. The Red Cross provides assistance in times of disaster as well as offers you and your family health and safety training and volunteer opportunities.
