Emergency Notification

---

American Red Cross communication services help to keep families in touch with military personnel following the death or serious illness of a family member, the birth of a child, or other family emergencies.

Information can be found on the Red Cross Website at: https://www.redcross.org/get-help/military-families/emergency-communication.html

Phone number to contact the Red Cross is 1-877-272-7337

You will need the following information:

• Full legal name
• Rank/rating
• Branch of service (Army)
• Social Security number or Date of Birth
• Military unit address (9075 Holcomb Drive, Fort GA 31905)
• Information about the emergency:
• Name and contact of immediate family member experiencing emergency (Spouse, Parent, child/grandchild or grandparent)
• Nature of the emergency
• Where the emergency can be verified (hospital, doctors office, funeral home)

The American Red Cross does not authorize emergency leave for members of the United States military. The Red Cross role is to independently verify the emergency, enabling the service member’s commander to make an educated decision regarding emergency leave and then to provide transportation assistance and/or financial assistance if needed.
