When Red Cross volunteers respond to a local emergency, they help families take their next step from crisis to stability. Some of these offerings:
 
-Provides emergency shelter, food, and emotional counseling to address basic human needs affected or eliminated to due to the disasters.

-Provides basic assistance such as groceries, new clothing, temporary housing, medicines, transportation and basic household items.

-Helps with long-term recovery when other resources, such as insurance benefits and government assistance, are not available or are inadequate to meet disaster-caused needs.

-Serves as an information and referral source to help those affected obtain other resources.

-Aides in emergency communication between disaster victims and family members located outside the disaster area.
