One of the primary roles of Red Crescent Intenational Society, as auxiliary to the authorities, is to provide first-line disaster response services. Red Crescent International Societies have a role (often legally defined) assigned by their governments in disaster response, which varies from country to country. Red Crescent Intenational Societies may involve search and rescue operations, evacuating the injured or people endangered by the disaster, managing shelters, restoring family links, running ambulance services or retrieving and evacuating dead bodies. In most Red Crescent National Societies, volunteers are trained in first aid, so that they can bring life-saving assistance to people injured in a disaster. They are also trained to assess damage and the emergency needs of the population, to identify those in need of assistance and to organize relief distributions. Red Crescent International Societies may also provide health care and psychological support.
