DISASTER SERVICES

For more than a century The Salvation Army has made disaster response a high priority. Whether tsunami or earthquake, blizzard or flood, tornado or fire, The Salvation Army is always on the scene providing food, drink, shelter and spiritual comfort to victims and relief workers. The Salvation Army remains on the scene as long as our services are needed.

Victims of a June 2008 flood in Mason City join relief workers in a line for a noon meal served by the Des Moines mobile canteen.

The spring and summer of 2008 kept Salvation Army Corps from throughout the Midwest busy. Staff and volunteers from Des Moines served victims and relief workers in Parkersburg, Mason City and Cedar Rapids. When the Des Moines River flooded in Des Moines, The Salvation Army fed sandbaggers and other relief workers at up to three different sites at one time.

Disaster Services workers and equipment from throughout the Midwest served North Dakota victims of flooding in the spring of 2009.

Wherever in the world disaster assistance is needed, The Salvation Army is prepared to go and to remain on the scene as long as our services are needed. We are called to meet human needs in Jesus' name.
