The Red Cross has dedicated page to helping find loved ones lost due to Hurricane Helene

Tips for Contacting Loved Ones

During a disaster, communities can be affected by widespread power outages and limited internet connectivity - which can impede communication efforts and we recommend trying some of these methods:

• Call during off-peak hours for the best chance of getting through.

• Send a text message, which may go through when phone calls cannot.

• Check your loved one’s social media pages (i.e., Facebook, X, etc.), as they may have already gone online to tell their story.

• Send an email.

• Call friends and relatives who may have already been in contact with your loved one.

• Call people and places where your loved one is well-known; neighbors, employer, school, place of worship, senior center, social club/center, union, or fraternal organization.
