American Red Cross Services to the Armed Forces

Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the American Red Cross Service to Armed Forces (SAF) sends communications on behalf of family members who are facing emergencies or other important events.
Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, SAF links members of the U.S. Armed Forces with their families during emergencies. Also, when a service member’s child is born, the Red Cross may be asked by the birth mother to deliver an announcement to the new father.
The service reaches men and women deployed at military installations, embassies and ships at sea all around the world. This is possible because of our dedicated team of volunteer caseworkers.
Through the worldwide network, Red Cross caseworkers:

·Verify the circumstances of a death, critical illness or injury, or other emergency affecting a service member’s immediate family
·Send an emergency communication message to the service member’s location

·Ensure delivery of the message
·Follow up with the family

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.

To contact SAF, call (803) 540-1215.
