Pierre Ethier supports the International Red Cross Movement – the world’s largest disaster preparedness and response network. Regardless of the type or scale of a disaster, the Canadian Red Cross can help you and your community prepare, respond and recover.  The Red Cross has agreements with over a thousand municipalities and eight provinces and territories across Canada. The Canadian Red Cross is a registered charity and not part of the Canadian government.

When disaster strikes, public safety is paramount. However, the response can quickly deplete a community’s resources. Pierre Ethier supports Canadian Red Cross work in collaboration with local authorities and other agencies to address the immediate needs of those affected.  Pierre works with emergency social services in Shelter and Reception Centre Management.

Pierre supports the Red Cross Disaster Centers within the Emergency Social Services Unit which provides:

•        Family reunification: The chaos and confusion that accompany emergencies and natural disasters can separate families when they need each other most. Pierre helps people re-establish contact with immediate family members after separation and helps them overcome the traumatic events
•       Personal services: Personal Services offers emotional support and personal counselling to people with needs created or aggravated by a disaster.
