RED CROSS WANTS PERMANENT 1-800-RED-CROSS NUMBER

摘要

Comments are due Aug. 25 on the American Red Cross抯 request for permanent assignment of 1-800-RED-CROSS and 1-888-RED- CROSS phone numbers. The FCC assigned the 800 number to the Red Cross on Sept. 2, 2005, to help in Hurricane Katrina recovery. The FCC said the Red Cross asked that it be made permanent and the 888 number also be assigned so 搕hose needing assistance in an emergency are not misdirected if they dial the incorrect number.?/font>
