RED CROSS IN 1961
In early September, 15'60 one of the most ferocious and
extensive hurricanes ever to strike these shores raged across
the Caribbean, through the Gulf across Florida, and up the
Atlantic coast. Packing winds that reached 150 miles in ve
locity, Hurricane Donna whiplashed and flooded areas of
Puerto Rico on September 6, roared into the Gulf and across
Florida on the 10th, and then up the eastern seaboard to
New England. Death and destruction were left in her wake.
The “Hurricane Watch” preparedness plans of the Red
Cross chapters in Donna's path paid off. Designed for just
such a crisis, these plans enabled chapters from Puerto Rico
to Massachusetts to place in immediate operation 720 hurri
cane shelters in which Red Cross fed and housed 69,518 per
sons as Donna raced northward.
Almost as soon as the turbulent winds and rain sub
sided, Red Cross set about the job of aiding in the post
emergency recovery of victims needing help.
No one can be sure where disaster will strike or when;
but you can be sure that Red Cross will be on the job from
the first hours of desperate emergency until every family
needing assistance has been helped back to its feet. The
homeless and hungry are sheltered and fed. The sick and
injured are given medical and nursing care.
Then, as the disaster fades from the headlines, the big
Red Cross job of rehabilitation gets underway. For those who
have no resources, Red Cross rebuilds or repairs owner-occu
pied homes and provides essential furnishings and equip
ment For those whose resources are inadequate to finance
family recovery, Red Cross makes up the difference between
what is needed and what the family can do for itself. In
certain cases individuals with serious disaster-caused in
juries are given medical and nursing care that sometimes
extends for months and even years.
More recently our own local headlines scream out of
floods caused by five days of continuous rains. Our neighbors
bad to leave their homes and personal possessions behind to
evacuate to safe ground. Red Cross immediately move in
and place their disaster plan into operation. The states of
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia were taken in under the
protective wing of this plan.
Each disaster operation is a cooperative effort on the
part of the American National Red Cross and the local com
munity. The Red Cross chapter is usually first on the scene
to take care of immediate emergency needs. Awards for re
building or repairing homes and replacing essential furnish
ings are made by representatives of the national Red Cross
in consultation with an advisory committee of representative
local citizens. Wherever possible, awards are granted in the
form of disbursement orders made out to local merchants
of the family’s choice This Red Cross practice helps to stimu
late the economic recovery of the community.
Disaster aid is given not loaned, and there are no
strings attached. It is one of the good things you make
happen when you help through Red Cross.
