Need to reach loved ones on Maui? Red Cross could help
Anyone whose family members connected to the military or are disconnected due to evacuations from their home can contact the Red Cross. The organization’s Hawaii headquarters can be reached at 808-734-2101 and the Maui office at 808-244-0051.
Here are some tips for contacting loved ones from Red Cross:
- 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, Twitter, 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.
- Try sending a letter. Your loved one’s mail may be getting forwarded to his or her new location.
