Disaster Safe and Well Website Registration The
American Red Cross encourages individual and families to register
themselves on the Safe and Well Website
by clicking on the banner link at the top. The Safe and Well
Website is an Internet-based tool that allows those directly
affected by a disaster to let their loved ones know of their
well-being. People within the disaster-affected area are able
to select and post standard "safe and well" messages.
Concerned family members who know the person's current phone
number or a complete home address can search for the posted
messages.

" It
is not in its past that the glories or benefits of the Red
