American Red Cross

The American Red Cross in the Pacific Islands Region plays a vital role in helping Hawaiʻi’s kūpuna (seniors) stay prepared and resilient in the face of natural disasters and emergencies. Through community education, training, and support, they offer lifesaving information on how to plan ahead, stay connected, and access local shelters when needed. Their programs are designed to address the unique needs of older adults, ensuring kūpuna know what to do when disasters strike, whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, flood, or power outage. With a trusted local presence, the American Red Cross continues to be a reliable resource for Hawaiʻi’s communities to reduce risks and recover quickly.
