Reply #87: Two places you can go look for them [View All]

[nadinbrzezinski]

The International Red Cross, the American Red Cross, they both have services where they took names and have searches for people who were taken from one place to another

They are far from complete (and there are many reasons for that), but they do exist.

The ICRC has that service every disaster and the American Red Cross should have it online... or in a searchable format

And as I said, for many reasons, they are far from complete. Oh and the camp that the Mexican Army ran... in Texas, they had to keep lists too. So probabaly the Mexican Red Cross has a list too... for those people they handled.

This is disaster management 101... and those lists are a nightmare to keep in the middle of a disaster

Here is one of those things at the ARC

Not the searchable database, they get decicate about it, but they helped 75m people... they have a list

And fox has links to the lists
