The Canadian Red Cross provides individuals or families with emergency food, clothing and shelter for up to 72 hours immediately following all levels of disaster. Personal disasters include individual house fires, apartment evacuations, housing condemnations, floods and other catastrophes.

Volunteer Canadian Red Cross Disaster Management Teams respond at any time of the day or night, regardless of the weather. All volunteers are highly trained. All services are provided at no charge.

We support national and international disaster relief work. In addition to providing urgent emergency services, Canadian Red Cross also offers a family reunification service to local residents who have lost touch with loved ones abroad. Individuals and groups may also call (780) 423-2680 for information on our Emergency Personal Preparedness Programs and Disaster Social Services Courses.
