The Red Cross is also receiving money through a third party mobile fundraising effort sponsored by Mobile Accord. Mobile donors can text “Haiti” to 90999 to send a $10 donation to the Red Cross. The funds will go to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.
The American Red Cross said today it is contributing an initial $1 million to support relief operations in Haiti.
The American Red Cross also is releasing supplies from its warehouse in Panama that will be able to meet the immediate needs of 5,000 families. Included are tarps, mosquito nets and cooking sets.
The American Red Cross is deploying six disaster management specialists to the disaster zone to help coordinate relief. These specialists will join the Red Cross staff already on the ground there.
At this time, the Red Cross is only deploying volunteers specially trained to manage international emergency operations.
