Volunteers work to ensure that emergency or disaster-related needs of the community are being met.
They set up disaster shelters, conduct damage assessments, meet the immediate needs of disaster victims - services which are provided person to person. Whenever families need to be re-connected, we'll be there. They also serve as a resource referral to civilians. When war, upheaval, or natural disaster disrupts normal communication, the Red Cross springs into action, bringing hope and help to those whose world has spun out of control. International Social Services volunteers help locate missing loved ones, reunite families, bridge the communication gap and make health and welfare inquiries in times of emergency.
