Donate Blood

As medical teams in Haiti continue to care for the victims of the devastating earthquake, the American Red Cross is coordinating shipments of blood and blood products from the United States to Haiti at the request of the Pan American Health Organization. To help us keep blood supplies at an adequate level in the U.S., please consider making an appointment to give blood. Call the American Red Cross at 1-800-REDCROSS, or visit redcrossblood.org.

Winter Storm Preparation

With winter storms still bearing down on the mideastern United States, the American Red Cross would like to remind everyone to take precautions. The Red Cross recommends that people follow these safety tips during a storm: Do not use candles for lighting if the power goes out. Use flashlights only. Please use generators correctly - never operate a generator inside your home, including the basement or garage. And please don't forget your pets- bring them inside.

Please see our Winter Storm Safety Checklist for more tips on staying safe and warm this winter!

Haiti Relief Update

Red Cross relief supplies continue to arrive, and more aid is reaching the survivors in the capital city and outlying areas, although the needs remain great. Shelter remains as urgent need on the ground. While the Red Cross works to provide a range of assistance, we are assessing needs and developing a strategy to meet long-term housing reconstruction needs. A pre-recovery assessment team from the global Red Cross network was created and scheduled to deploy this past weekend. The team will be lead by the American Red Cross and will conduct discussions with the Haitian government and key development partners like the World Bank, Inter American Development Bank and the UN in order to develop a recovery plan for the medium and long term.
