LIHU‘E — Volunteers with the American Red Cross responded Tuesday to a house fire that occurred Sunday in Hanama‘ulu and caused major damage to portions of a single family home, a news release states.
The Red Cross met with the family to ensure their immediate emergency needs are met. Caseworkers will continue to follow up with the family over the next few weeks.
The Red Cross encourages all families to make a disaster plan to include an evacuation plan with two different routes of escape, a communications plan to help families reconnect after disaster and a disaster supplies kit that is readily available to aid in a quick evacuation. Information on developing a family plan is available to the public at www.redcross.org, or a brochure can be requested by calling 734-2101.
