EMERGENCY DISASTER SERVICES

When a crisis hits the community, The Salvation Army responds quickly. One way that The Salvation Army assists is with the Community Response Vehicles. These Emergency vehicles are dispatched to the designated locations or reception centres with teams of trained Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) volunteers who immediately set up food and support services alongside other agencies.  We feed the emergency responders and evacuees, making sure that they have hot or cold drinks and snacks, and where needed a hot meal.

If you would like to be part of a dynamic team doing meaningful relief work in our community, please contact us.

We have a volunteer application package ready for you as well as training courses so that you can be prepared to serve on our team and help neighbours in need who are facing emergencies such as fires or floods.
