When stateside families of U.S. military personnel need to communicate during emergencies. The American Red Cross is designated by Congress to serve as a link between America's armed forces and members of their families.
Requests sometimes involve happy news such as the birth of a child.
During times of conflict there are requests to contact people in trouble spots throughout the world. Whatever the request, whenever it is received, the emergency communications volunteers are prepared to work quickly and efficiently to forward communications through Red Cross networks. This web site only describes our services and is not intended to be a method of response for disaster and military cases. Contacts for Northland Chapter Emergency Services Coordinator.
