Disaster Relief and Recovery Update

By Clare Hedger | Partnerships Team

The Australian Red Cross Disaster Response and Recovery fund is set up year-round to support Australians before, during and after a disaster.

From the storms and catastrophic fire conditions in Victoria to flooding in Queensland, your donation to the Disaster Response and Recovery Fund means Red Cross can be there to help people during disasters and other emergencies throughout Australia.

Right now

Red Cross teams are on the ground supporting people impacted by disasters.

We continue to work in evacuation and recovery centres across the country.
Our volunteers are providing psychosocial support to people in evacuation centres and via personal support, information, and referrals in community recovery hubs.
We are working hard to register and reunite loved ones through our Register.Find.Reunite service.
We have commenced planning for the long and challenging recovery journey that many people are facing.

Last year, someone in Australia needed our help every 90 seconds.Here’s what our donors made possible:

324,000+

people supported before, during and after disasters

1,639

staff helped and supported people across 33 emergency activations

4 million+

people accessed information from emergency preparedness campaigns
