The Red Cross began an extensive effort in 2012 to reassess and revise its approach to disaster services.
Feedback from our customers, volunteers & partners consistently told us that Red Cross needs to:
Be reliable
Deliver consistent & high quality services
Allow flexibility at the local level to meet local needs
Be active across all phases of the disaster cycle
Our revised structure and approach seeks to address those four points
