"Hi Mom, it was really scary, but we are all okay."

One of the most vital services the American Red Cross can provide to families during a disaster is the peace of mind that comes from knowing that friends and family are "safe and well." The Safe and Well site is an easy-to-use Internet tool that is most effective in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Log onto www.redcross.org and look for Safe and Well, or click on the Safe and Well List banner that applies below.
