Access to Emergency Communication Services
As part of an ongoing effort to better serve the military community, the American Red Cross has moved to a single telephone number for its emergency communication services. Service members and their families can use one toll-free number -- 877-272-7337 -- to send an urgent message to a service member.
Now, military members and their families can use this single number to initiate an emergency communication, regardless of where they live.
An emergency situation can be a very stressful time for a military family. Through this number, Red Cross emergency communications services can put military personnel in touch with their families following the death or serious illness of an immediate family member, the birth of a service member's child or grandchild or when a family faces other emergencies. Additional Red Cross services such as case management and emergency financial assistance also are available.
