Red Cross Concentrated Casework in Hard-hit Areas (PHOENIX) January 31, 2010 12:00 PM – As relief efforts shift from the emergency phase of the flooding operation to the recovery phase, the Red Cross is conducting concentrated casework outreach in hard-hit communities in Arizona. This casework to disaster victims in Black Canyon City and Tonto Basin helps to meet disaster-caused needs. During casework, each individual or family will have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a trained interviewer to help determine needs and provide urgently needed assistance. Assistance may include providing disaster victims with the means to pay for what they need most -- from groceries, new clothing, and rent to emergency home repairs, household items and medicines. The Red Cross also provides counseling and referrals to other community resources. On-call Red Cross nurses can assist with disaster-related injuries and illnesses and can help clients replace eyeglasses, dentures, hearing aids, or prescriptions lost in the disaster. All Red Cross assistance is given on a uniform basis, depending on family size and need. It is free and given as an outright gift from the American people. Individuals or families applying to the Red Cross for assistance must bring with them some form of identification showing their address, as proof that they lived in the area affected by the disaster. For more information about Red Cross service delivery, call the Red Cross at 1-800-842-7349. |
