Red Cross Helps 2 People Affected by a Home Fire in Miami

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Last night, local American Red Cross volunteer members of the Disaster Action Team, from the Greater Miami & The Keys Chapter, responded to a home fire on S.W. 115th Road, South Miami Heights neighborhood, in Miami Fla. The disaster-trained team helped coordinate emergency aid to quantity two (2) people/person impacted by the blaze.
The Red Cross is providing emergency financial assistance, health and mental health services, one-on-one support to connect people to available recovery assistance and will continue to provide additional support to the family to meet their disaster-caused needs.
The Disaster Action Team is a group of local, specially trained, Red Cross volunteer responders, who are ready to take action at these emergencies, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Disaster Action Team volunteers also provide emotional support and information to help families begin the process of recovery. Red Cross disaster assistance is free of charge, a gift made possible by donations to the Red Cross.
Red Cross volunteers have been trained to follow proper safety procedures and protocols to continue serving communities impacted by local disasters, during the coronavirus outbreak.
Families in our community, across the country and around the world turn to the Red Cross every day for help because #EmergenciesDontStop. Hospital patients still need lifesaving blood; neighbors still need food, shelter and care after disasters; and military families still need support. Your help is needed to fulfill the urgent needs of our mission today at redcross.org/SouthFlorida.
