In fulfilling the mandate of its charter, the organization has developed a Hurricane Action Plan, to assure that Red Cross chapters take immediate, identifiable, emergency action to assist hurricane victims and evacues. This publication outlines the plan and explains its operation in detail. Maps showing the coastal areas covered, listings of district headquarters and staging points, and other helpful material are contained in the appendices.en-USdisaster planninghurricane action planemergency responsehurricane preparationdisaster reliefOther
