CERT graduates know that it is important for your family to have out of state contact phone numbers that will allow you to communicate with other family members how you are doing after a disaster. The Red Cross has created a web site where victims of a disaster can register and anyone can look up their status.
The site actually registers more than the general public will have access to such as your location, how you can be reached etc.
Welcome to the American Red Cross Safe and Well Website. If you have been affected by a disaster, this website provides a way for you to register yourself as “safe and well.” From a list of standard messages, you can select those that you want to communicate to your family members, letting them know of your well-being.
Concerned family and friends can search the list of those who have registered themselves as “safe and well.” The results of a successful search will display a loved one’s First Name, Last Name, an “As of Date”, and the “safe and well” messages selected.
