Today's American Red Cross is keeping pace with the changing military. Using the latest in computer and telecommunications technology, the Red Cross sends communications on behalf of family members who are facing emergencies or other important events to members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving all over the world. These communications are delivered around-the-clock, 7 days a week, 365 days a year by calling your Greensboro Red Cross at (336) 333-2111.
Through a 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 back home

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.
