The American Red Cross, Hawaii State Chapter is helping at least 13 families whose Big Island homes were destroyed by Sunday's earthquakes or suffered major damage."And the number is increasing as we go," said Maria Lutz, the American Red Cross' director of disaster services in Hawai'i.
Red Cross officials said they are receiving requests for information about checking for structural damage, checking household items, making repairs, recovering emotionally and for tips for dealing with their insurance companies.
