 Disaster Preparedness        Emergency Services

Our Mission:

Disaster Action Teams
Respond to all incidents, evaluate the needs of those affected, and provide emergency assistance to families and emergency workers.

Sheltering and Feeding
The Red Cross opens shelters for those evacuated or displaced by a disaster and provides meals and snacks to families and to emergency workers in impacted areas.

Individual and Family Assistance
Trained Red Cross interviewers meet one-on-one with individuals and families to determine their disaster-caused needs. The Red Cross will provide assistance with food, clothing, shelter, lost medical items, essential household furnishings, and occupational supplies for minor home repair. The Red Cross also lets people know about other available community or government resources. The Red Cross will remain actively involved with those needing long-term recovery assistance when other resources are not available or are inadequate.

Disaster Health Services and Disaster Mental Health Services
When a disaster strikes, the Red Cross assists in meeting the physical and emotional health needs associated with the disaster.
