When disaster strikes, The Salvation Army responds with
food, supplies, shelter, counseling, and HOPE.
Whether it be a local incident or a major disaster,
Salvation Army staff and volunteers are often the first on the
scene and the last to depart, honoring a century-old
commitment to serve those in need, at the time of need, and at
the place of need.
The red shield continues to be a beacon of compassion; of
immediate aid, psychological support and spiritual counsel to
individuals and families whose lives have been disrupted or
shattered by forces beyond their control.
Salvation Army disaster response teams, coordinated and
directed by commissioned officers and trained personnel,
supported by volunteers, are "on call" to serve at
all disasters and civil disorders which place a community or
its populace at risk or which may disrupt or destroy family
security and well-being.
A coordinated community response to floods, tornados, fires
and other disasters can make all the difference to people who
have lost everything. The Salvation Army joins other
agencies in helping people put their lives back together after
a disaster.
