Program Description

Emergency Communications The Red Cross Hero Care Center can help you reach your active duty service member during an emergency at home. Provides emergency service for active duty military and retirees and military families. At times of emergency, Service to Armed Forces (SAF) provides the communication link between armed forces personnel wherever they may be and their family members at home. Our Red Cross worldwide emergency communications network operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By calling 877-272-7337 we can help you or your family with emergency messages regarding the death or serious illness of a family member, the birth of a child, or other family emergencies. The American Red Cross Service to Armed Forces can provide a service member and their commander with fast, reliable information to help make decisions regarding emergency leave. The SAF collaborates with the military aid societies in providing financial assistance when an urgent personal or family crisis arises
