When a disaster threatens or strikes, the Red Cross provides emergency shelter, food, and health and mental health services to address basic human needs. In addition to these services, the core of Red Cross disaster relief is the assistance given to individuals and families affected by disaster to enable them to resume their normal daily activities independently.
Volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Disaster Assistance is free of charge, provided through the generosity of donors who support their local American Red Cross chapters.
