Register.Find.Reunite launched for people impacted by severe weather on the coast of NSW

5 April 2024

In response to the severe weather on the coast of NSW, Australian Red Cross has launched the Register.Find.Reunite service.

Australian Red Cross Emergency Services Lead, Sarah U’Brien said 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, and not being able to contact them by phone or email adds to that anxiety. The Register.Find.Reunite service helps find and reunite family, friends and loved ones during a disaster,” Ms U’Brien said.

If you or a loved one has been impacted by severe weather on the coast of NSW, Australian Red Cross encourages you to register or enquire through the Register.Find.Reunite service via the Australian Red Cross website at redcross.org.au from a computer or any mobile device.

The service matches registrations from people affected by an emergency to enquiries made by their loved ones searching for news. Where a match is made, with consent, the person who made the enquiry will be notified.

It’s important for emergency management agencies to know where people are during emergencies. By registering with Register.Find.Reunite you are also letting important services know that you are OK and what support you may need.
