Emergency Services

Our chapter provides disaster relief assistance to individuals and families affected by natural and manmade disasters in York-Adams County. The American Red Cross disaster relief focuses on meeting people’s immediate emergency disaster-caused needs. The core of Red Cross disaster relief is the assistance given to individuals and families affected by disaster to enable them to resume their normal independent lives. We assist in providing shelter, food, and health and mental health services to the effected individuals and families. The Red Cross also feeds emergency workers and handles inquiries from concerned family members outside the disaster area.

Register on the Safe and Well Website

The American Red Cross encourages people to register themselves on the Safe and Well Website, which is accessible at all times via www.redcross.org, or by clicking on the banner below. The Safe and Well Website is an Internet-based tool that allows those affected by a disaster to let their loved ones know of their well-being. People within a disaster-affected area are able to select and post standard messages. Concerned family members who know the person’s current phone number or a complete home address can then search for the posted messages, providing peace of mind.
