Each year, the South Arkansas Chapter of the American Red Cross responds to hundreds of disasters including house or apartment fires (the majority of disaster responses), hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other natural and man-made disasters. We assist disaster victims in meeting their emergency needs to include shelter, food, clothing and emotional support.
Whether it is a fire, hurricane or flood it is essential that you, your family and/or your business know about the services available to you from the South Arkansas Red Cross.
