Extract

Disaster relief and the spirit of volunteerism have been inextricably interwoven with the design and development of Red Cross societies around the world. The American Red Cross is one of 131 members of an international federation of national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, the League of Red Cross Societies. Societies are chartered by their own governments and conduct programs in the fields of health, welfare, and safety in accordance with each nation's needs.
