Emergency Service
In an instant, your life could change forever . . .
![]() |
You awake to the smell of heavy smoke. It becomes
increasingly difficult to breathe.
Is your family safe? What do you do?
How will you rebuild your life in the aftermath of a fire?
Every day, anywhere from one to three homes in our area are ravaged by fire. In the shock and confusion that follow, the American Red Cross is there, helping to rebuild lives.
The Emergency Services of the Southwest Louisiana Chapter of the American Red Cross provides disaster relief and training to residents throughout the five parish service area on a daily basis. Disasters include single-family
incidents (mainly house fires) and other events, such as hazardous materials incidents and damaging windstorms.
The American Red Cross is not a government agency and depends on the generosity of local businesses and individuals, as well as support from the Capital Area United Way, to provide vital assistance to local disaster victims.
