Abstract

Using the casework principle, the American Red Cross has developed an effective system of disaster rehabilitation. Relief available to families is, principally, food, clothing, housing and repair, furniture, medical aid, and occu pational equipment and supplies. Aid is rendered on a need basis and is limited to disaster areas and those immediately affected, supplementing local community efforts. Through sound personnel policies and modern techniques, the Red Cross has steadily improved its capacity to bring aid rapidly to stricken areas and to evolve long-range rehabilitation programs. Through its disaster relief, the Red Cross has also contributed to the social sciences by means of its community and casework studies and has brought about important improvements in national welfare.—Ed.
