  9. The role of the organization the Red Cross is to help “ vulnerable communities “ around the world affected by emergencies and disaster. Furthermore, their mission as the Red Cross is to “ improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity in Canada and around the world “ (redcross.ca) .

    Locally in Canada, the Red Cross tries to reach out to communities by getting them involved in different programs and services. But they don’t fail to respond to our needs as a community either, they are involved with floods, hurricanes, house fires and provide health services, water safety, and first aid programs. In addition, they focus on finding families, Violence, and Bullying and Abuse Prevention.

    Globally, the Red Cross helps out with health programs, relief supplies, clean water and sanitation, and solving shelter issues for people affected by natural disasters or any other emergencies. Overall, the Red Cross focuses on “migrant and refugee services, finding families, International Humanitarian Law, Red Cross Youth, Violence, Bullying and Abuse Prevention, Worldwide Health, First Aid and CPR” (redcross.ca)

    Overall, the Red Cross is effective when meeting and responding to the needs of our global community. Since the Red Cross covers a broad range of services, they can cover more issues and help more people. The services they provide range from disaster relief to raising awareness about bullying.
