The American Red Cross

Emergency Services:

The National American Red Cross is chartered by the United States Congress to provide three major components: 1) to fulfill the provisions of the Geneva Conventions assigned to national societies for the protection of victims of conflict; 2) to provide family communications and other forms of support to the U.S. Military; 3) to maintain a system of domestic and international disaster relief, including mandated responsibilities under the National Response Plan. These three major components are all covered by the North Central Florida Chapter’s Emergency Services Program. Our organizational mission mandates that we respond and provide needed services to every person affected by a disaster ranging from house fires to hurricanes, and every serviceman and woman and their families in need of emergency communication and financial assistance.
