Active Hurricane Season Anticipated
For the 2010 hurricane season the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting a 70 percent chance that there will be 14 to 23 named storms, eight to 14 hurricanes and three to seven major hurricanes. In our area this means rivers overflowing, widespread flood damage, downed power lines, property destruction and homelessness. Click here for preparedness tips.

Tour the Red Cross
St. Teresa’s School in Summit spent the day at our chapter to learn more about what the Red Cross does in the community. The students met with Director of Disaster Response, Barb Flynn, who explained how the chapter responds during an emergency and the types of support that can be provided. Seen here, the class takes a break in a “mock” shelter complete with cots. Schedule a tour with us, contact Barb at flynnb@ccnjredcross.org
