Emergency Communications Services

American Red Cross emergency communication services keep military personnel in touch with their families following the death or serious illness of a family member or other important events, such as the birth of a child. The Red Cross quickly sends these communications on behalf of the family to members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving anywhere in the world, including ships at sea, embassies and isolated military units. The information or verification in a message assists the service member's commanding officer with making a decision regarding emergency leave.

For more information on Armed Forces Emergency Services (AFES), or to learn about how you can become a volunteer AFES caseworker through the American Red Cross, please call the West Shore Chapter at (231) 757-3069 or contact us by email to michaudm@wsarc.net
