Red
Cross disaster relief focuses on meeting people's immediate emergency
disaster-caused needs. When a disaster threatens or strikes, the
Red Cross provides 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.
The Red Cross also feeds emergency workers, handles
inquires from concerned family members outside the disaster area,
provides blood and blood products to disaster victims, and helps
those affected by disaster to access other available resources.

cadre of local trained Red Cross volunteers who are swiftly mobilized
