The American Red Cross can provide two types of assistance after a disaster – hard and soft.
Hard assistance provides material items and may include feeding, shelter, clean-up kits, comfort kits and financial assistance.
Soft assistance minimizes immediate disaster-caused suffering through listening, guidance, advocacy, and counseling.
