LOOKING FOR LOVED ONE: If someone calls and hasn’t heard from their loved one that’s in the disaster area staff can go to the following link to provide ways to contact loved one and also check the well and safe page, etc.  http://www.redcross.org/get-help/disaster-relief/contact-and-locate-loved-ones

Tips for Contacting Loved Ones

Be creative, and be persistent. If one contact method doesn’t work, try another. Don’t give up!

• Call during off-peak hours for the best chance of getting through.

• Send a text message, which may go through when phone calls cannot.

• Check your loved one’s social media pages (i.e., Facebook, Twitter), as they may have already gone online to tell their story.

•  Send an email

• Call friends and relatives who may have already been in contact with your loved one.

• Call people and places where your loved one is well-known: neighbors, employer, and school, place of worship, senior center, social club, union, or fraternal organization.

• Try sending a letter. Your loved one’s mail may be getting forwarded to his or her new location.

Note: If your loved one has a serious, pre-existing health or mental health condition, you may also initiate an Emergency Information Request by calling your local American Red Cross Chapter or 1-800-RED-CROSS.
