World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pittsburgh Tragedies
The American Red Cross has immediately responded to the explosions at the World
Trade Center in New York City and in the Pentagon and on the National Mall in
Washington, D.C. that occurred early in the morning on September 11, 2001. The
Red Cross has activated its Aviation Incident Response (AIR) Team to respond in
New York City and trained disaster workers from the American Red Cross are
providing relief in the affected areas.
80,000 blood donations in the American Red Cross blood inventory are ready to
ship to affected areas and will ensure that patients' lives are saved. In the
wake of these traumatic events lies a wide path of catastrophic physical and
psychological destruction in which countless victims will require assistance. In
addition to meeting the physical needs of the affected regions, the American Red
Cross will be providing crisis mental health counseling.
"The American Red Cross is doing everything we can to ensure the immediate
availability of the safest possible blood," said Dr. Bernadine Healy,
president and CEO of the American Red Cross. "We are also dispatching
hundreds of trained disaster workers and mental health counselors to New York,
Washington D.C. and elsewhere," she added.
The fastest and most effective way to help the victims of this disaster is
through cash and blood donations, which allow for the best use of resources. All
Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of
time and money from the American people.
To make a blood donation, please call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or contact your local
blood service organization. To help the victims of this and other disasters
