· Giving emotional & spiritual care for people who have been affected by disaster
· Coordinating volunteers through local affiliates
· Assisting refugees in a holistic way by meeting the varied needs of the community
· Promoting disaster risk-reduction by helping communities build their assets to reduce the effects of disasters
· Providing long-term recovery efforts by addressing the unmet needs months or even years after a disaster strikes
