| Lakeway Area Red Cross disaster relief focuses on
meeting people’s immediate emergency disaster-caused needs. When a
disaster such as fire or flood strikes, the Red Cross provides
shelter, food, clothing, and mental health services to address basic
human 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 daily activities
independently.
All Red Cross assistance is given free of charge,
made possible by the generous contribution of the public’s time,
money, and skills. |

Armed Forces Emergency Services (AFES)
The Lakeway Red Cross keeps military
personnel in touch with their families in situations such as the
death or serious illness of an immediate family member or the birth
of a child. Red Cross emergency messages provide military personnel
and their commanders with fast and reliable information to help them
make good decisions regarding how best to deal with a family crisis
or emergency leave situation. |
| The Red Cross also collaborates with Military Aid Societies in
providing financial assistance when an urgent personal or family
crisis arises. Financial assistance is provided when there is a
demonstrated need for funds for such items as emergency travel,
burial assistance, or urgent health and welfare needs such as food
and shelter. |
