Salvation Army's Emergency Response Centre

Speaker: Reno Elms

The Salvation Army has spent years working with people affected by crisis or disaster, helping them get back on their feet.

The Salvos say:-

We understand that disasters and emergencies have a destabilising and traumatic impact on those affected. No one should have to go it alone, so when a disaster strikes, we're ready to meet people at their point of need.

The very nature of disasters and emergencies means that people have very little time to prepare, and often need fast and immediate help. Our emergency support workers can provide immediate financial and practical assistance with no long forms to fill out or waiting periods.

When the emergency is over, we remain with communities to provide longer-term support through services that reflect the needs of the community. This long-term support can mean many months, and even years, of holistic care for those affected.
