The subcon~ittee will maintain intimate contact with the ~isaster Preparedness and Relief Committee, as well as with the acti- vities of all subcommittees to insure a correct reporting of the dis- aster and the relief activities of the Red Cross. ~ Arrangements will be made as re4uired for speakers at radio broad- ~~sts, churches, clubs, and other gatherings. In the development of subcommittee plans for raising the relief ~oll.nd, special attention must be given plans for telling the public about the needs to be met, by portrayal of appealing and interesting cases, numbers of persons affected, and the amount of money which will be required. It is particularly important that suitable photographs be obtained of the various activities and special items which will em- phasize the character of the disaster and the relillef operation. An in~ediate appeal for funds will be made in the nume of the Red Cross, preferably by proclamation of the mayor. The first appeal may indica te that tho total to bo asked for will be gi ven later when defin- ite information is available as to needs. , The American National Red Cross Hesdquarters will be asksd by the BJisaster Preparedness und R8lief Committee Chairman to furnish guid- ance in detormining the size of the relief fund. The amount of money to bo raised will be determined as rQpidly us possible when suffici- sntly accurate data is aVQilable from the Survey, Rescue, and other 3'lbcommi ttoes. The sum of' money to be raised locally will govern the type of cam .. '),l€n uethods to be put into effect. Any plan will includE) one or "l~;^,; of' thoJ following: (1) Personal solicitation (2) Newspaper solicitation (3) Radio appeal (4) Personal letters to individuals (5) Church appeals (6) Trade appeal Details of organization and nocessary steps in publicity will be found in Disaster Preparedness and Relief.

Survey affected area im- mediately after occurrence of disaster to determine its scope, the points 1IVhere relief is needed immediately, the kinds of relief, the condition of roads and bridges and communication facilities, and to secure the facts on which an extimate can be made of the relief fund required. Promptly report this information to the Disaster Committee Chairman, Sources of supply and equipment: No equipment or supplies needed, other than those supplied through other subcommittees, such as automobile and boat transportation, communication, and possibly office space, ~fuen disaster strikes: The Subcommittee on Survey will report immedi- ~ a t8ly to disaster headquarters. After assigning terri. tory to the in- dividual members of the subcommittee, the subcommittee should immedi- ately determine by survey and from all 1" cliable sources: (1) Number of families having losses (2) Number of persons homeless (3) Number of persons dead (4) Number of persons imjur d, including best possible es- timate of number injured seriously enough to require hospitalization (5) Number of homes comple ely destroyed (6) Number of homes damaged (7) Number of families with household goods loss (8) Extent of farm losses, including barns and other build- ings, livestock, and poultry (9) Number of small one-man business8sdamaged (10) Special problems of relief, communication, and trans- portation. This report is used to plan the administrntion of relief, to determine the funds required for relief p1lrposiCs, and as the bcsis of r(.port to Headquarters. In this pr'~liminary survey no effort should be mad" to compile detailed records of individual loss s, as this consumes valu- able time and tends to arouse undue expectations amons affected families. Later the family case workers ~ 11 have an opportunity to make detailed inquiries as to the individual losses and needs which mus t always biC cons idercd in relation to the fam ily' s resources and credit, Any SUpplies ne.cded will be r q1Jisitioned through the SUbcommittee on Central Purchase and Supply. .. - - t .
