American Red Cross Statement on Flooding in Texas
Updated July 9, 2025
Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastating impact of the recent floods in Texas. The loss of life and destruction are truly heartbreaking. We stand with the affected communities during this difficult time.
The American Red Cross is working to support emergency shelters — providing food, relief supplies and other critical resources like financial and family travel assistance. Several emergency shelters are open for those seeking refuge or a place to charge their phone and connect with our Disaster Mental Health volunteers. Additionally, there are two reunification centers open to help reconnect families and loved ones.
- Reunification requests: If you are searching for someone affected by this disaster, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) or contact our casework teams online through this 24/7 monitored form: http://rdcrss.org/4nAM6Dw
- Mental health support: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Emotional recovery after a disaster can be difficult, and support is available 24/7. Call or text 988 to speak with a trained mental health professional. We're here to help.
We are deeply moved by the outpouring of support from across the country. The Red Cross will remain on the ground in Texas in the days and weeks ahead, supporting those affected for as long as we are needed.
