Following the heartbreaking devastation caused by the severe flooding in Texas, the American Red Cross is working side by side with partners to help affected communities. We are supporting several emergency shelters, providing food, relief supplies and other critical resources like financial and family travel assistance to those affected. People can also access information and connect with our disaster mental health volunteers in these shelters.
Red Cross shelters are a safe place for everyone and act as a hub for disaster-related assistance. Anyone who has been affected is welcome. Guests are not required to provide identification or stay overnight.
Additionally, there are two reunification centers open to help reconnect families and loved ones.
We are distributing emergency supplies to partner-run community sites in Kerr, Tom Green, Burnet, McCulloch, Williamson and Travis counties. These supplies include essential cleanup items such as shovels, cleaning products, trash bags and more.
In addition, we are supporting the efforts to ensure that all those who have suffered tragic loss have appropriate service to help them move forward. Those who need help can access many Red Cross services by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).
