Administrative disaster relief worker

This is how we help

Sometimes disaster strikes. That's when Red Cross volunteers are ready. Providing disaster relief is one of our basic missions. Our assistance consists of initial reception in reception centers for the uninjured, providing information to relatives by telephone and offering support to the injured and their families in hospitals.

This is how you contribute to this

In order to do our job of welcoming, informing and assisting people involved in disasters or major accidents, all identity data of those affected must be processed quickly and correctly administratively. The authorities and relatives of those affected receive and rely on this information.
