IN THE AFTERMATH - HOW TO LET YOUR LOVED ONES KNOW YOU ARE SAFE

IN THE AFTERMATH - HOW TO LET YOUR LOVED ONES KNOW YOU ARE SAFE

Okay, so most of you know that I used to work for the American Red Cross and still volunteer for them.  They are a fantastic organization who do amazing things during and after disasters.  From single family fires to devastating hurricanes, they are there.  In fact, we are already signed up to go if need be through this upcoming, or should I say already here, hurricane season.  They are prepared!


So, after the major disaster when you finally realize you are okay and can think, what do you think of?  Finding your family members, friends and loved ones.  Making sure they are safe and letting them know you are as well.  The phones are out, the cell phone lines are overwhelmed and you need to get a message out and see if you've received one.



Voila- SAFE AND WELL from the American Red Cross.  Safe and Well is a website where you can list yourself as safe and okay so your family can search and so can your friends.  They can also register and let everyone know about their situation as well.  It's pretty simple, so you don't have to put private and personal information, but it can bring peace of mind to worried loved ones and yourself. 


Personally I would reccommend that you put the webpage into your smartphone so that it will be available if need be.
And, shameless plug, don't forget to take your CPR and First Aid Classes.  You never know when it will come in handy... but that's a story for another blog!



**Just for everyone's information:  The American Red Cross does NOT get government funds.  ALL services are provided due to the generous contributions of the American people.
