Profile of Response and Recovery Services
The Salvation Army provides numerous disaster relief services. Each disaster is unique and devastating in the way it impacts the lives of individuals and communities. The Salvation Army's emergency & disaster response is community based, varying from place to place based upon the community's situation and the magnitude of the incident.
The Salvation Army has the ability to provide both immediate emergency assistance and long-term recovery help. Emergency response services are activated on short notice according to an agreed-upon notification procedure, while long-term recovery is strategically planned in response to the situation, through working and partnering with many other community entities.
Even with the ability to be flexible and to respond based upon the community's situation, there are several basic services that The Salvation Army Great Lakes Division offers. These services form the core of The Salvation Army's Emergency Disaster Services program.
