Due to all the criticism that the American Red Cross (ARC) has had in recent years, I thought it would be good to go to the people in the Red Cross who provide emergency services in support of emergency managers, federal, state and local. In this case it is the top person in charge of disaster services for the nation who responded.
See this interview that was published today in
Emergency Management magazine,
The Red Cross Responds to Disasters — and the Critics.
Leave a comment if you'd like to chime in on how the ARC is performing in your jurisdiction/state.
