Disaster Services
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. The goal is to enable thos individuals and families affected by disaster to resume their normal dail activites independently. hese services are provided free of charge to those affected by disaster thanks to the generosity of local donors
The Red Cross also feeds emergency workers (fire, police, other first responders) during situations where they are at a scene for an extended period of time. Through our network of people and resources, the Southwest Washington Red Cross responds to disasters whether a fire in a single family home, flooding that affects hundreds or other disaster related incidents that affect people living in Cowlitz, Clark, Wahkiakum, Pacific, Skamania and Klickitat counties.
