The mission of American
Red Cross Disaster Services
is to ensure nationwide disaster planning, preparedness,
community disaster education, mitigation, and response that
will provide the American people with quality services delivered
in a uniform, consistent, and responsive manner.
The American Red Cross responds
to disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, fires,
and other situations that cause human suffering or create
human needs that those affected cannot alleviate without
assistance. It is an independent, humanitarian, voluntary
organization, and not a government agency.
