International Emergency Services
Emergencies and disasters come in many shapes and sizes. Some, like the tsunami of 2004, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, or the horrific events of 11 September 2001, take centre stage in world media attention. Other emergencies touch the lives of thousands yet appear to go unnoticed. However, one thread runs though many of these events – the response of the Salvation Army Emergency Services, a section of the Programme Resources Department of International Headquarters.
Our Mission Statement
Moved by compassion and in obedience to the example of Jesus Christ, The International Emergency Services section of The Salvation Army provides support, training and resources to respond to the needs of those affected by emergencies without discrimination.
