American Red Cross Prepares for 2008 Hurricane Season

Here is what your American Red Cross is doing to prepare and respond to the Hurricanes of 2008; we launched a massive effort beginning more than 10 days ago…

  • Mobilizing thousands of staff and volunteers from states across the country including Colorado, South Dakota, Tennessee, Oregon, and California.
  • Moving large amounts of supplies including:
    • More than 470,000 blankets
    • Nearly 525,000 cots (including accessible cots, and other essential equipment to ensure accessibility)
    • More than 700,000 prepackaged meals and more than 200 mobile feeding trucks
    • The Red Cross is ready to open nearly 500 shelters across 4 states within the storm’s projected path with the ability to shelter a total of nearly 166,000 people
This is our largest relief mobilization effort since Hurricane Katrina. The anticipated cost is already more than $12 million—and this is before the storm has made landfall.

Please support our Disaster Relief Fund that enables us to respond to the Hurricanes of 2008. We’re concerned for the millions of residents at risk with the hurricanes - their homes, their families, their livelihoods. We care about every one of them and they can be assured they are our #1 priority as they face this impending disaster. We’ll be there to help them recover and cope with what happens over the next 24 hours, the next weeks and months.

Centennial Chapter Responds to Gulf Coast Storms

It is now clear that this will be another very active hurricane season. The American Red Cross is continuing to strive to have the human resources to assist our neighbors during these times of distress. The Centennial Chapter is therefore adding additional classes and temporarily offering an extensive training schedule.

If you are interested in becoming an American Red Cross volunteer for this hurricane season, as well as future seasons and disasters please check the training schedule to see if you will be able to attend a ‘Fulfilling Our Mission’ class, then please call our Chapter office at 970-226-5728 to sign up for class(es), get on our volunteer list and train today for the disasters of tomorrow.
