Common Community Disasters
Our most common disasters, in Florence and the Pee Dee are: fire, tornadoes,
and hurricanes. If you experience a disaster, we can help.
Immediate Relief. We work with emergency service agencies, and others,
to provide Emergency shelter, meals, and first aid.
Basic Necessities. We work with you and your family to identify
disaster-caused needs, help to develop an immediate plan, and provide you and
your family with the means to pay for basic necessities, which may
include rent/temporary repairs, needed household items, groceries, new
clothes, medical/nursing/hospital expenses related to the disaster, and job
supplies (to allow you to return to work)
Other Sources of help. The Red Cross works with you to find you the
help you need. We will refer you to government and other agencies that can
help in your recovery. If these resources are unavailable or if you need more
assistance, the Red Cross will continue to work with you and your family to
meet your disaster-caused needs.
