Emergency response overview

The Red Cross responds to hundreds of emergencies in the UK every year and supports the emergency services in various ways across the country.

Our fully trained volunteers are always on hand to give practical help and emotional support to those in need. They provide vital assistance following major incidents, such as floods or earthquakes, and more personal emergencies, like transport accidents and house fires.

We work in partnership with the emergency services and local authorities, to support their work in responding to crisis.

We also offer training and advice on how you can deal more effectively with emergencies yourself.
