Disaster Management
Canadian Red Cross helps people affected by emergencies and disasters – situations ranging from a housefire to a flood that disrupts an entire region of the country. Following a disaster, Red Cross works with governments and other humanitarian organizations to provide for people's basic needs – food, clothing, shelter, first aid, emotional support and family reunification. The specific services offered will be based on the community's needs and the role that Red Cross has in the local disaster response plan.
All Red Cross assistance is provided free of charge and is made possible because of the generosity of financial donors and the volunteers who provide time and expertise. If you want to help, you can make a cash donation by calling 1-800-418-1111 or volunteer by contacting your local Red Cross office.
