Emergency Disaster Services

The frequency and impact of natural disasters is on the rise worldwide. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, forest fires, tornadoes, ice storms and severe rain storms are happening more often than ever before. As one of Canadas major emergency relief organizations, The Salvation Army is, many a time, assigned specific roles by Emergency Preparedness authorities. Emotional and spiritual support, registration and inquiry, shelter, transportation, emergency housing, feeding or clothing is provided both in the response and recovery phase. The Salvation Army has developed a National Disaster Training Program (NDTP), a very detailed emergency response training program whereby volunteers are trained in every aspect of Salvation Army emergency response. Only pre-trained, pre-registered volunteers are called on during an emergency or disaster response. The Armys established and well-rehearsed emergency protocol allows the organization to deliver fast, efficient service to first responders and disaster survivors. And while the Army is often first at the scene, it is the last to leave when tragedy strikes. The Salvation Army in Powell River is ready to respond to any disaster that strikes our community. From forest fires, to floods, to house fires. Our Community Response van is here to help!
