RED CROSS EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION MESSAGES (ECM)

Emergencies are sudden, generally unexpected, occurrence of a time-critical and short-term nature that disrupts the norm and that demands immediate action or attention.

Red Cross Emergency Communications help service members and their families prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.

We help provide service members and military authorities with objective, timely, confidential, factual, complete and verified reports on emergency situations that will help them make informed decisions.

Service members and military commanders rely on Red Cross emergency communications to help make leave decisions or to help service members cope with the emergency in other ways
