response to any natural disaster in our 125-year history. From the perspective of immediate human needs, Hurricane Andrew was big:
68,000 families needed financial assistance Thirteen years later, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma set new records:
More than 1.4 million families approximately four million people needed financial assistance Number of Families Provided Financial Assistance LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN/CEO Dear Friends,
Theres no such thing as a small disaster.
Whether its a record-breaking storm affecting millions of people on the Gulf Coast, or a single-family house fire in Gwinnett County that never makes the news, the experience is just as devastating to the families involved. Thats why, when your Red Cross assisted tens of thousands of hurricane evacuees in metro Atlanta during September and October 2005, we also an- swered every call for help from our community, and, during the same time period, assisted 143 local families who lost their homes to fires.
Much has been written about Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma the magnitude of destruction and heartbreak they caused, the unimaginable human needs generated, and the challenges faced by relief agencies in meeting them. Yet, comparatively little has been said about the achievements of communities like ours that opened their hearts and became a refuge for fleeing families.
With the support of caring and generous donors like you, the dedication of partnering agencies and organizations, and the heroic efforts of 8,300 local Red Cross workers, mostly volunteers, Atlantas Red Cross coordinated the largest disaster relief effort in our states history. We worked with 23 Red Cross chapters in Georgia to disburse an astounding $44.4 million in financial assistance to 43,000 families, house 3,100 evacuees in 22 shelters, serve 400,000 meals and snacks, and comfort thousands of suffering people. The well-deserved pride in this accomplishment belongs to our entire community.
More than a year later, as the Red Cross Hurricane Recovery Program continues for the survivors in metro Atlanta, so does our planning with community partners for future catastrophes natural, biological and manmade. You can be confident that your Red Cross is hard at work each day, training people in life-saving skills, preparing families for disasters, meeting the needs of local fire victims and growing our capacity to respond. We are committed to using the donations you entrust to us in an efficient and effective way to fulfill our humanitarian mission.
Whatever the future holds, one thing is certain - you make it possible for the Red Cross to be there when disasters happen, one family at a time. We are profoundly grateful for your ongoing support.
Sincerely, Timothy M. English (Tim) Chief Executive Officer Sanford Schwartz (Sandy) 2005-2007 Chairman 3 INDEX: Year-at-a-Glance Pages 4-11 Financial Statement Page 12 Thank You, Donors Pages 13-22 Award Winners Page 23 In 2006, for the fifth consecutive year, the American Red Cross received a top, 4-star rating
from Charity Navigator, Americas largest independent evaluator of charities. YEAR-AT-A-GLANCE: Your Red Cross at Work in Metro Atlanta International Services
Helped 162 international families trace the whereabouts of relatives, send emergency messages and get referrals for community services, and delivered 1,522 humanitarian courses and presentations to students of all ages. Life-Saving Training Provided life-saving training for 52,994 people in first aid, CPR, use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), lifeguarding and water safety, both in the community and in the workplace. Military Support Helped 4,456 military families send emergency messages, get financial assistance, find counseling and get referrals, and briefed 1,777 military family members on Red Cross services available to them. Blood Services Supported the efforts of American Red Cross Blood Ser- vices, Southern Region, which processes, tests and safe- guards blood collected from donors in communities across Georgia and distributes more than 310,000 units of life-saving blood to approximately 130 hospitals in the state. Community Services Trained and provided guidance and support for 8,559 volunteers, whose gifts of time and expertise multiplied our resources in the community. Disaster Preparedness Empowered 27,412 people to be better prepared for the unexpected through informative presentations, including the training of 2,858 people as disaster responders. Disaster Relief Responded to 797 local disasters typically house and apartment fires, but also events ranging from tornadoes and flooding to small-plane crashes and hazardous-material releases and provided immediate help for 5,194 people, including shelter, food, new clothing, the replacement of eyeglasses and hearing aids, and other basic necessities. Coordinated the largest Red Cross disaster relief operation in state history following hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, and oversaw the statewide distribution of $44.4 million in financial assistance to 43,000 families; the housing of 3,100 people in 22 shelters; the feeding of 400,000 meals and snacks; 20,000 health and mental health contacts; and the service of nearly 16,000 volunteers. Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter services provided during the 2005-2006 fiscal year include: Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter 4 It began with Cindy and Dennis... Because of the magnitude of Hurricane Katrina, it might be easy to forget that hurricane season actually began in July for the residents of metro Atlanta. The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy and Hurricane Dennis caused tornado damage and power outages in Henry and Clayton counties, and widespread flooding and storm damage in Fulton, Cobb, Douglas and Cherokee counties. Red Cross volunteers and staff opened six shelters, and distributed thousands of meals, snacks, beverages, clean-up kits and hygiene kits. Red Cross disaster nurses and mental health professionals helped hundreds of people with replacement eyeglasses, prescription medications, and ways to cope with their emotional stress. In all, nearly 300 local families received financial assistance from the Red Cross. As this sizeable disaster relief operation was still wrapping up in August, our exhausted volunteers quickly changed gears to monitor the arrival of Hurricane Katrina. Red Cross caseworkers met with hundreds of local families affected by Hurricane Dennis at our Service
Delivery Center at Turner Middle School in Lithia
Springs. Families in need received financial assistance for necessities like food, clothing, bed linens, and
their first months rent in a new home or apartment. Red Cross outreach to families in flood-damaged neighborhoods brought food, water, and caring
support. Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter 2005 HURRICANE SEASON: Metro Atlanta Impact 5 2005 HURRICANE SEASON: Katrina-Rita-Wilma Hurricane Season 2005 changed the landscape of America. It also changed the way the Red Cross will respond to future, catastrophic disasters, locally and nationally. Above: Red Cross Joint Recovery Centers in College Park, Marietta, and Lawrenceville (pictured above) provided a one-stop- shop for hurricane survivors seeking help from the Red Cross and other service providers. Below: Locally, Atlantas Red Cross met the immediate needs of 33,500 families, including food, clothing and shelter; financial assistance; replacement medications; dentures and eyeglasses; and health and mental health services. Immediate Right: In the midst of the Katrina relief operation, Atlantas Red Cross provided on-the-job training for 1,185 new volun- teers. Here, a class spills into the hallway as instructor
Jo Kroger (center) teaches the basics of client casework. Far Right: Red Cross employee Eric Weston accepts a check from Georgia firefighters at the state capitol. Atlantas Fire and Rescue Department coordinated the statewide boot drive,
which raised $326,000. In all, generous Georgians donated more than $57 million to the Red Cross. The collective impact of three hurricanes, Katrina, Rita and Wilma - still unimaginable in size, scope, and cruelty - drove millions from their Gulf Coast homes and communi- ties. Tens of thousands sought refuge in Georgia and the Red Cross launched the largest disaster relief operation in state and local history from our chapter headquarters in Atlanta. More than a year later, Red Cross Hurricane Recovery Specialists are still work- ing with hurricane survivors and partnering with other agencies to provide resources for their recovery.
Accomplishments With the support of generous donors, heroic volunteers, and dedicated commu- nity partners, metro Atlantas Red Cross coordinated the relief efforts of 23 chapters in Georgia. Together, we provided safe lodging for more than 3,100 evacuees in 22 shelters, more than 400,000 meals and snacks, and an astounding $44.4 million in financial assistance to 43,000 families.
Improvements Along with its successes, the hurricane relief effort faced local and national challenges, due largely to the magnitude of the re- sponse. As a result, the American Red Cross redefined almost every aspect of its disaster relief program and used what it learned to better prepare for future responses. At the national level, warehouse space tripled with enough supplies stockpiled to serve one million meals and shelter 500,000 people a day. One million Client Assistance Cards are now on hand to pro- vide financial assistance more quickly. Improved technology increases our ability to communicate, handle online casework, and expand call center volume. In addition, more trained volunteers and stronger community and national partnerships have grown the capacity of the Red Cross to respond to disasters nationwide. 6 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Worst Ever Of the 28 named storms, 15 reached hurricane strength, and three Katrina, Rita and Wilma share the title of worst natural disaster in U.S. history. They killed more than 1,800 people, devastated 90,000 square miles and drove millions from their homes. An estimated 100,000 Gulf Coast residents evacuated to metro Atlanta. Hurricane Recovery Program Ongoing More than a year later, the needs of hurricane survivors are still overwhelming. Former New Orleans residents Ethel and Gerald Thomas (below left and center) are grateful for their visits from local Client Recovery Specialist Jacqueline Chadwick (right). Through the Red Cross Hurricane Recovery Program, shes helping the couple navigate the application process for government resources to aid in their recovery. Medical disabilities, no car, and shrinking finances make it necessary for them to find a more affordable apartment with better access to public transportation.
When youve been in the dark for so long, its hard to see the light, but Jacqueline helps us look at whats working in our lives, says Ethel. With their family scattered across the country by Katrina, the couple appreciates all the assistance theyve received from the Red Cross since arriving here, including initial help with food, clothing, shelter, and replacement dentures.

Of these, 1,700 people took additional training and/or worked a minimum of five consecutive days gaining valuable disaster experience. In addition, 235 people enrolled in the national Red Cross Disaster Services Human Resources (DSHR) system, more than doubling the number of local volunteers available for national disaster assignments. The really cool thing about the Red Cross is there are so many things you can do and people are willing to let you do them! Lorie Cornwell, volunteer Calvin BritWhen I first signed up, I did it as a way to give back. To me it was so easy. I got satisfaction from seeing how it helped the people seeing their faces when the supplies were there for them. Came to the Red Cross as a spontaneous volunteer following Hurricane Katrina and assisted with logistics. Stayed and became a DSHR volunteer trained as a Logistics Supervisor. Helped with Red Cross support for evacuee families on the Lebanon Repatriation flights to Atlanta (July/August 2006). Lorie Cornwell It was truly a life- changing experience for me. I was one of those people who obsessed about every little thing in life and suddenly there was something bigger to worry about. I couldnt stop thinking about the people I was talking to! Continuing to work with disaster clients keeps me grounded. Came to the Red Cross as a spontaneous volunteer following Hurricane Katrina and helped with client casework. Stayed and became a DSHR volunteer and deployed on her first assignment for the Hatch, New Mexico flood relief operation (August 2006). Became a Disaster Action Team member and captain for the Eastern District Office (DeKalb/ Rockdale counties) and is the Metro Atlanta Red Cross co- leader for disaster assessment. Shirley Foote I was so utterly amazed at the enor- mity of humanitarian services provided by the American Red Cross that I chose to stay on after Katrina its a good use of my time. Came to the Red Cross as a spontaneous volunteer following Hurricane Katrina and assisted with casework in Atlanta, then in Falls Church, Virginia at the national Red Cross call center for hurricane clients. Stayed and became a trained DSHR volunteer. Joined the Central District Office (Fulton County) Disaster Action Team and also helps in the office. Kathleen Haworth I realized that the way the Red Cross interacts with disaster clients allows them to have their dignity in a time of crisis. This experience and the dynamic level of leadership I found at the Red Cross made me want to stay. Came to the Red Cross as a spontaneous volunteer following Hurricane Katrina and assisted with client registration and the coordination of thousands of records and reports. Stayed and became a trained DSHR volunteer. Assumed the volunteer leadership role of DSHR Coordinator and is working to increase our capacity for disaster response. Amy Woodrick I told another volunteer, who was tired of handing out bottled water, We may be doing little things, but if you look at the big picture, were all making it happen. I couldnt imagine not coming back. I really found my calling with the Red Cross. Came to the Red Cross as a spontaneous volunteer following Hurricane Katrina and assisted with client registration and triaging people with special needs. Stayed and became a trained disaster volunteer. Joined the Northeastern District Office (Gwinnett County) Disaster Action Team and also helps in the office. Meet five new volunteers that came to us during the Hurricane Katrina relief operation and, thankfully, stayed: 8 Five Who Led and Inspired Red Cross disaster volunteers from metro Atlanta played a critical role during the 2005 Hurricane Season. With so many trained and experienced volunteers nationwide deployed to the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina, there were few reinforcements to support them in running the largest disaster relief operation in state and local history. Our leadership volunteers leveraged human and material resources to accomplish the impossible. Donna Anderson Hurricane Client Services Administrator, Metro Atlanta Chapter Coordinated case- work, financial assistance and health and mental health services for disaster clients in metro Atlanta. Bob Nemo Material Support Services Administrator, Georgias Red Cross Coordinated logistics and supplies at multiple service delivery sites. Jeanne Spears Hurricane Client Services Administrator, Georgias Red Cross Oversaw casework, financial assistance, and health and mental health services provided to disaster clients throughout the state of Georgia. Bob Sheldon Community Services Administrator, Georgias Red Cross Coordinated shelters and foodservice for disaster clients and volunteers. We wound up with some excellent volunteers from Katrina. The next layer of leadership is already coming from this group. Jack McCaffery, volunteer Special Thanks to all our Red Cross Volunteers! Meet five experienced volunteers that led and inspired us all during the Hurricane Katrina, Rita and Wilma relief operation: 9 Jack McCaffery (standing, second from right) Hurricane Relief Operation Coordinator, Metro Atlanta Chapter While Red Cross employee Nancy Brockway served as job director for the Hurricane Katrina, Rita and Wilma disaster response in the state of Georgia, local volunteer Jack McCaffery helped her manage the huge relief operation by coordinating the daily operations unfolding in metro Atlanta. He coordinated volunteer leadership for the various functions necessary in a major disaster response, from staffing and logistics to client and partner services. Under circumstances unprecedented in size and scope, Jack played a key role in helping the Red Cross assist 33,500 evacuee families in metro Atlanta alone. Im tremendously proud of the work our local Red Cross volunteers did last year both the trained and dedicated volunteers who were there from day one of hurricane season, to the new volunteers who came forward during Katrina. We simply couldnt have done it without their help.

Bottom row: Calvin Brit and Lorie Cornwell LOCAL DISASTER RESPONSE Fire, Loss and Recovery, with Help from the Red Cross Today is her 28 th birthday and Kiairra Maddox is smiling. Its been nearly six months since the May 20 th fire that destroyed her DeKalb County apartment and things are finally looking up for the single mother of two. Shes in a new job and apartment now, yet the shock of arriving home with baby daughters Tamiya and Aliya, to fire trucks and a burning building, is something shell never forget. Firefighters think that a spark from a blown out candle landed on nearby fabric, smoldered and triggered the blaze while she was away. Kiairra credits the Red Cross for her first steps toward recovery. The Red Cross volunteers who helped me were so patient, she recalls. They listened, calmed me down and gave me encouragement. Disaster Action Team volunteer Jill Slavin also helped Kiairra focus on next steps something she says she couldnt have done alone. Kiairra received a client assistance card, similar to a debit card, to pay for the two nights shed need in a hotel while making arrangements to stay with her grandmother. The Red Cross also provided the family with food, clothing, shoes, a portable crib and bedding. If it wasnt for the Red Cross, I dont know what I would have done, says Kiairra. It was such a blessing. You gave us the things we needed, right then and there. Today, all the smoke alarms work in Kiairras new apartment and she makes a point of talking to her friends about fire safety. And every time she sees a news story about the Red Cross helping disaster-stricken families, she remembers what it felt like to be in their shoes. I was once one of those people, says Kiairra, and I have nothing but good things to say about the Red Cross. Last year, metro Atlantas Red Cross responded to 745 home and apartment fires in our community and helped 1,515 families 4,548 people with their immediate, emergency needs for food, clothing, shelter, replacement medications, emotional support, referrals for additional assistance and other essentials. All Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible through financial donations from caring people in our community. Nearly six months after a fire destroyed her apartment, Kiairra Maddox, pictured with her daughter Aliya, says she can
never thank the Red Cross enough for the help she received. Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter 10 HEALTH AND SAFETY EDUCATION Red Cross Training Builds Confidence, Saves Lives What began as an ordinary evening for Dacula resident Tami Pennington took a dramatic turn in March when the mother of four approached an intersection in her car and witnessed a crash between two other vehicles. Tami pulled over immediately and discovered that, although a crowd of would-be Good Samaritans had formed, nobody knew how to help. Thats when I went on auto pilot, says Tami, who drew on the training shed received eight months before at a Red Cross First Aid class taught in her workplace. Following the Red Cross rule Check, Call, Care Tami first checked the scene for danger, the number of injured people, the extent of the injuries, and other details that emergency responders might need. Next, Tami made sure that someone called 911 before she began to care for the three injured young men. With one car on fire and the other car too close to the flames for comfort, Tami directed the movement of the men with minor injuries away from the cars, and helped with the stabilized movement of the third man who was more seriously hurt. She helped control the bleeding of their cuts, then focused her care on one of the men who had gone into shock. When fire and emergency responders arrived on the scene, Tami filled them in on the conditions of the injured and the actions taken. She even volunteered to accompany the young men to the hospital and wait with them until their parents arrived. Tami credits the Red Cross first aid course she took for giving her the knowledge and confidence she needed to help. After this experience, I dont understand why everyone is not trained in first aid and other lifesaving skills, says Tami. One of those boys could have died if we had not given him the proper care before professional help arrived. Certified courses in first aid, CPR and use of an AED (automated external defibrillator) for heart emergencies are offered year-round in the community and workplace. For more information, visit www.redrossclass.org, or call 404-575-3730, option #3. Tami Pennington knows the value of Red Cross training.

Campaign Cabinet, a committee of top ranking executives from Georgias leading companies, to help raise funds for hurricane victims. In 2004, the Cabinet raised $4 million to help victims of the four major hurricanes that pummeled Florida and other parts of the Southeast.
