Your American Red Cross Wants You to be Prepared for the 2010 Hurricane Season

The 2010 United States government forecast calls for one of the most active hurricane seasons on record with as many as 23 named tropical storms including up to seven major hurricanes. NOAA administrator, Jane Lubchenco has said, "The greater likelihood of storms brings an increased risk of a landfall, in short, we urge everybody to be prepared." Record warm Atlantic Ocean temperatures will help in the development of storms in the Atlantic this summer. Please read the hurricane information located on the left side of this web page for what you can do to prepare and protect your family and property in the event of a hurricane making landfall along the North Shore of Massachusetts.

You Can Help Your Local Chapter

The winter, spring and summer seasons have been very busy for local Red Cross Chapters. Chapters throughout eastern Massachusetts have responded to many incidents, mostly home fires, and have expended over $100,000 assisting families with emergency needs in addition to helping residents recover from the strong winter storm and major flooding events. More recently there have been several large apartment complex fires in Beverly and Gloucester impacting dozens of families. Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteers have been busy helping families who have lost their homes with temporary shelter, food, clothing, and other emergency needs. Although the current recession has resulted in a decrease in donations, the need for emergency assistance has not decreased. You can help your neighbors by making a donation to your local Red Cross Chapter. Please click here for information about making a donation.
