Disaster Services

The American Red Cross of Acadiana responds to disasters every day. No matter how big a disaster, the
Red Cross responds to provide emergency assistance to those affected.

Not only do we respond to disasters, we also prepare by offering community disaster education and information.

The Red Cross works with the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA in the case of a disaster.
