Description
Annually, the American National Red Cross responds to over 70,000 disasters, including house or apartment fires, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other natural and man-made disasters. Locally, the chapter responds to a home fire every 18 hours, with the help of our Red Cross Disaster Action Team (DAT) volunteers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We're also working tirelessly year-round to prepare individuals, households, communities, businesses, and organizations so that they can reduce their vulnerability and be more resilient in the face of disaster. By taking proactive steps together today, we can reduce the social and economic damage caused by future disasters and emergencies.

Description
Red Cross Transportation Services operate in both Harris and Fort Bend Counties. The Red Cross Community Services program provides non-emergency medical transportation every week.
The American Red Cross Greater Houston Area Chapter has been providing transportation services to the Greater Houston area since World War II. We understand the necessity of transportation for people who are elderly; people with disabilities; and people who are chronically ill. We know that Red Cross Transportation Services are more than just a ride.
