When disaster strikes, the local Red Cross can be called on to meet with affected individuals to identify and help meet their immediate emergency needs. Typically, basic human needs such as a place to stay, food to eat, necessary replacement medication or health items, and clothes to wear are provided first. In addition to helping with physical survival needs, the Red Cross also offers emotional counseling to help those affected cope with disaster.
