Red Cross Scenarios

It is the job of the American Red Cross to care for American citizens in their time of need whenever disaster strikes. This would be no different if a zombie apocalypse were to occur. The Red Cross would carry out all of these duties as if they were dealing with a tsunami, wildfire, or even an act of terrorism.
