Cyclone Lam affected families encouraged to register with Register.Find.Reunite.

People who have been affected in the Arnhem Land region area are encouraged to register with Red Cross online, or in person at a relief centre.

Register online at www.redcross.org.au

“The simplest way to let your family and friends know you’re OK or to find out that your loved ones are safe is to register with the Register.Find.Reunite. service,” said Red Cross State Manager Emergency Services, Paul Mitchell. “The service helps find and reunite family, friends and loved ones during a disaster.”

“Being separated from family and friends is one of the most stressful things a person can experience during an emergency. Not knowing where your loved ones are, not being able to get a hold of them by phone or email adds to that anxiety.”

People can register with the Register.Find.Reunite. service on the Red Cross website at www.redcross.org.au from a computer or any mobile device. If internet and mobile devices are down due to the emergency, people can also register in person at an evacuation or relief centre.

If you are unable to contact a loved one who may have been affected by a large scale disaster in Australia, visit the Red Cross website to enquire through the Register.Find.Reunite. service.
