It doesn’t look like the St. Louis Area Chapter Blog link is working. Try this instead: http://www.redcrossstl.org/Newsroom/ChapterBlog.aspx. Thanks for reading!
[...] Ten American Red Cross chapters with blogs of their own [...]
The Southeastern Michigan Chapter has a NEW blog. Can you list it here?

Thanks!
I am very concerned about ARC’s lack of sensitivity to the DEAF people in emergency preparedness, especially with ETON Corp’s ARC Emergency Product Line, not meeting the accessibility issues of Deaf People – why? because they cannot hear the RADIO audios!!! Why cannot ARC develop such emergency product lines to meet all of people, including Deaf and Hard of Hearing, also those people whose hearing are diminished by age.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter has a new blog, too! Can you please list it here? Thank you!

Is there a Mid-Rio Grande Chapter blog? I am the DAT Captain for Socorro, NM. I would like to she our chapter blog with my team if there is one.
Hello all,
My name is Gregory Vallejos, and I am a new AmeriCorps member for my local Red Cross chapter. Currently, we do not have a blog, twitter-feed, flickr, but I would really like to start this. I feel as if this would be very beneficial in recruiting new members, and also get individuals more involved with their local community. The trouble I am having is that I have never tried anything like this before, but I would surely like to learn. If anybody could point me in the right direction, give me some tips, etc.. that would be great! Thanks again, and I hope everybody is going well.
Greg

My Name is Fabiola,
I would to go to Haiti to help. I can take one week off from my job to help .Please contact me.
The San Luis Obispo County Chapter has a blog.
It’s pretty rad, so add us to the list!
We would like to get our wind /solar Mobile power stations to you to help Haiti, to provide power, water pumps, and refridgeration, as well as power tools to areas without power, And we are trying to figure out a way to get funding to do this. Please contact me at 607-563-3144 to figure out how we can do this as soon as possible to help those people, as well as people all over the world.
How wonderful that so many people are responding regarding the Haiti earthquake. While the generosity of the public is appreciated, the best way to help is to send monetary donations in one of three different ways:
1) Send a text. Type HAITI (all in caps) and send to 90999. This service which is sponsored by the U.S. State Department, will automatically be charged to your cell phone bill.
2) Call 1-800-733-2767 for the American Red Cross International Response Fund to donate.
3) Mail a check to: American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington D.C. 20013.
Due to the chaos, the Red Cross will not accept volunteers to travel to Haiti. If more people are needed, they will make an announcement. Until then, donate your time to your local Red Cross Chapter i.e., answering phone calls, or you can donate blood to replenish our national supply, should the need for international help for blood ever arises.
Thank your for your support!
I have a question about the text donation. I texted in the text with the word “Haiti” as the text. After I sent it, I got another email telling me to confirm by testing YES. I am worried that the second part might be a scam. I’ve tried to call the red cross and was on hold forever. Does anyone know if the follow up text is a scam?
in these moments do not know what pain is higher in my soul, that to see the left in ruins and who or shower of them, or that of not having food, water, aids and equipment with which to rebuild that small country Haiti
Are PokerStars and Full Tilt helping out the Haitian earthquake victims? I heard players would be able to make donations from their accounts. I hope this is true.
T-shirt to support earthquake relief effort in Haiti . I want to donate 40% from each sale to the red cross and i also have some item on ebay and 40% of each sale is also being donated
i need help getting the word out. The more i can sale the more i can give.
Congratulations on your prolific work here. I must admit I have popped in a read a good number of your blogs but I have no idea how to post a response over there, so I’ll tell you now how good you are at describing the stuff your at – I must admit I find it insightful to read your blogging. Keep up the good work.
I live in the UK and it seems that people have forgotten about Haiti but are more concerned about celibrities lives. I know that people and the media in France still report about Haiti. What is it like in the States where the haitian community is quite important? Are the American Red Cross still receiving donations?
Good work on all the efforts in Haiti ,glad we have an organization that helps
Imagine being in an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale. Take a moment to consider being in a hotel room 5,000+ miles from home in a country where English isn’t widely spoken. That was the situation that my wife and I found ourselves in earlier this month in Vina del Mar, Chile.
The first quake hit just after 3:30 in the morning, shaking us awake with a ‘surround-sound’ rumbling. The small hotel we were staying had 5 other rooms, all the others being on the floor above us.
As we opened the door to our room, we met several of the other guests coming down the stairs, and heading for the front door to the safety of an open lawn.
The earth kept shaking for another 30 seconds as we stood under the bright full moon after we had exited the hotel. The 90 second quake was the horrifying both because of the intensity and the duration.
All electrical power was out, but fortunately for us was restored less than 6 hours later. During that period, aftershocks shook several more times, but only 2 others lasted long enough for us to evacuate the hotel again.
Just after 9:00 am, we walked from our hotel to an overlook approximately 100 feet above the sea. We noticed that waves had brought debris high up onto the shoreline, but that the water had receded what turned out to be abnormally far down. However, in a very short time, large waves were once again coming in very high up on the beach. Police and emergency vehicles were using their loudspeakers to urge people to avoid going onto the beach.
No damage was noted in the area of the beach that was approximately 250 miles north of Concepcion, Chile (where the biggest damage from the earthquake and tsunami that followed 45 minutes after the initial quake) was experienced.
For the next 4 days, my wife and I explored areas north of Vina del Mar, avoiding traveling to the south where road travel and communications were still not fully restored to normal. Very little signs of damage were apparent as we traveled through small towns and on side roads from Vina del Mar to Los Andes, and then up a winding series of switchbacks to Portillo on the Argentine border.
On the 5th day after the earthquake, we returned to Santiago from Los Andes. We had to detour off the modern highway at several points as we approached Santiago as either overpass road or pedestrian bridges were lying on the main roadway. The large capital city was returning to normal, but numerous security ribbons were posted prohibiting approaching too near damaged buildings. Our hotel had structural damage that the hotel had papered over. Numerous churches were damaged, and most of the auto dealers with glass windows were damaged, but the underground metro and bus service appeared normal.
During the evening, we noticed the Red Cross advertising on the tv for volunteers to assist with preparing emergency household necessity packages that included drinking water for families in heavily affected regions 7 and 8 of Chile, AND to assist with tracing activities related to missing persons.
The next morning, I visited the Chilean Red Cross main office, and met with a series of officials who graciously briefed me about the emergency actions and needs for assistance. I continue to receive email updates from several new friends who are Chilean Red Cross volunteers.
The Federation announced a $6.4 million dollar appeal (recently raised to $12.9 million USD) globally while I was in the office. It was really great to see the founding principles of the international Red Cross movement were working well in Chile. Over the next 2 days, prior to our departure, we were able to witness numerous volunteer actions, and the people of Chile responding well to support the Chilean Red Cross.
The road infrastructure was heavily damaged along the coast between Concepcion and Constitution. However, a convoy of almost 100 trucks filled with emergency supplies reached the most heavily affected area surrounding Concepcion on the same day as my visit to the Chilean Red Cross main office.
With earthquakes continuing to occur, it seems to me that while the international Red Cross movement wouldn’t normally assist with reconstruction of the damaged infrastructure, it may be possible to assist with psychological trauma associated with the disaster as well as with preparing for emergencies in the future.

I can not speak for the entire country but the Red Cross in Watauga County North Carolina is actively collecting donations for Haiti. We are also trying to plan a trip there this April.

Interested in assessing American Red Cross Disaster services. We were not at home in Bellevue
(West Nashville) when Rebecca came to see us.
We are staying with a co-worker and it is difficult to contact us via telephone. However, email is the best way to contact us. The email is checked several times a day.
Tee – Thanks for your comment. We are encouraging all affected residents in Nashville to contact us through our 1-866-GET-HELP number (1-866-438-4636). This is the fastest way to contact our caseworkers, who will be able to help you proceed with the recovery process.
