The immediate American Red Cross focus is on getting lifesaving help to millions affected by the tsunamis. This includes distributing culturally appropriate food like rice, canned fish and lentils to millions of people. Safe water and sanitation is a priority, and the American Red Cross will be rehabilitating water and sanitation systems to ensure that people have clean water and waste disposal systems.

Funds raised through this special will support the American Red Cross two-phased assistance plan, which includes specialized relief immediately and over the long term in these five areas:

� Food and safe water

� Healthcare and disease prevention

� Immediate family supplies

� Mental health counseling

� Disaster preparedness and prevention measures
