Disaster Relief


All day, every day, wherever someone needs us.

We respond to an emergency every 8 minutes.

No one else does this: not the government, not other charities. From small house fires to multi-state natural disasters, the American Red Cross goes wherever we’re needed, so people can have clean water, safe shelter, and hot meals when they need them most.

  • We respond to an average of more than 60,000 disasters every year
  • 95 percent of our disaster relief workers are volunteers
  • The vast majority of disasters we respond to are home fires.

Our purpose is to meet the immediate disaster-caused needs of individuals, families, and communities. Explore how we respond to disasters big and small, across the country.
