What does the local Red cross do besides blood mobiles?
The Southern Alleghenies Chapter responds to every house fire in the counties we serve, offering support to the fire victims and emergency responders. Fire victims may receive overnight accommodations in local motels and vouchers for food, clothing, medications and other emergency essentials, all paid for by the Red Cross. Emergency responders receive hot and cold beverages and nourishing snacks while on the disaster scene. The Red Cross is a leader in disaster preparedness education and training, offering classes in CPR/AED, First Aid, Emergency Response, Babysitting, Water Safety and Lifeguarding, Wilderness Training, and Family and Business Emergency Planning. We are also a major link between local family members and military service members stationed around the world, assisting with emergency communications and financial support.
