American Red Cross Encourages Families to Talk to
Children About Home Fire Safety During Fire Prevention Week
Worcester, MA , October 1, 2008 - The American Red Cross is urging families to talk with their children about fire safety during Fire Prevention Week 2008 (October 5-11).

Red Cross National Relief Efforts Continue…Please Donate Now
 As relief efforts continue in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, millions of people have no electricity and hundreds of thousands who evacuated don’t know if their homes are damaged or when they can return. From Illinois to Texas, thousands of American Red Cross disaster workers are on the ground, providing safe shelter, food, water, and comfort to those affected by the Hurricane Ike and its remnants.
Each day, tens of thousands of people are turning to the Red Cross in the aftermath of Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, we must have the means to meet their needs. Our Disaster Relief Fund is depleted and it is essential that we raise enough money to help disaster victims. We estimate spending between $40 and $70 million helping those affected by Hurricane Gustav and the cost of the Hurricane Ike relief effort could easily climb higher than that. Please click here to make a secure on-line donation to our National Disaster Relief Fund! Thank you!

The North East may have escaped the wrath of Hanna as it was downgraded to a tropical storm, but we are certainly not out of the woods yet. With Hurricane Ike intensifying by the day, the American Red Cross of Central Massachusetts is urging residents to prepare for a potentially large storm.
