With such a terrible tragedy in a country that was already in desperate need of help, we are all looking around wondering how to help and what to do.  The American Red Cross has helped tremendously with all of our help and we want to make their contribution even bigger.

So far, the American Red Cross has:

• Pledged $127,000,000 to assist the Haitian earthquake relief effort.
• Made available all of the relief supplies from its warehouse in Panama which would provide for basic needs for approximately 5,000 families.
• Deploying a disaster management specialist to Haiti, and has additional disaster specialists on standby if needed.
• Working with the Haitian Red Cross, which is expected to lead the Red Cross response to the earthquake.
• Working with American Red Cross staff on the ground in Haiti, who are working to obtain more information on the situation.
• Sent 100 cots from the Massachusetts Bay Chapter with Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) to Haiti for relief assistance.
