Facing one of the largest rehabilitation efforts of Its whole history, as a result of the Florida hurricane, the American Red Croes already had behind it a record of service In 62 dls- asters at home, up to the close of the fiscal year, June 39, 1926 When the hurricane struck Florida with such devastation and loss ot life, the Red Cross National Headquarters was Just congratulating Itself (hat a year had passed without a major dls- aster within the borders of the country. The destruction in Florida has been tentatively estimated by Director of Disaster Relief Henry L. Baker, of the American Red Cross, in terms ot relief work ahead ot the organlza-- l tlon. This takes Into account all sufferers who must bo cared tor. Careful surveys by experienced authorities place the injured at 4.000. exclusive of the stricken Gulf Coast cities of Moorehaven a"! Clewfaton. Of the 1.200 injured sent to Miami hospitals, 500 were suffering with major fractures. In two other east coast communities the injured numbered nearly 1,000, The homeless were conservatively estimated at 50.000. Such figures sketch only vaguely the human and material problem which the American Red Cross is still doing Us utmost to solve. For comparison the other outstanding recent disaster, the Midwest tornado of March 18. 1925, can be described In more detail. In that catastrophe tho final check showed 800 dead, 3.000 injured and 6,847 families of approximately 30.000 men, women and children rendered homeless. The final relief operations of the Rod I Cross were brought to a close March ! 18. 1926, exactly a year from the day the toiaodo struck five states.
