Severe weather can strike quickly and sometimes with little or no warning.
It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. Local relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. The American Red Cross has tips to follow to make this severe weather season as safe as possible for you and your family. The best thing you can do to help when a disaster strikes is to make a financial donation to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Funds are used to provide food shelter and clothing for those whose homes are destroyed, those forced to evacuate their homes, and to support Red Cross Volunteers and Staff providing disaster relief.
