Canadian Disaster Relief
2021 Year in Review
When Disaster Strikes
Samaritan’s Purse typically deploys one or more of three Disaster Relief Units when responding to disasters in Canada. They are tractor trailers outfitted with essential disaster recovery equipment including generators, pumps, hand tools, and safety gear for volunteers.
Samaritan’s Purse Canada responds across Canada providing immediate relief to survivors of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other disasters.
The devastation left in the wake of a disaster can quickly overwhelm the local response capacity. Outside resources and help are often crucial in enabling affected communities to recover and rebuild. Samaritan’s Purse provides immediate assistance through highly trained volunteer leadership partnering with local churches, emergency management, and regional authorities.
How We Respond
Samaritan’s Purse mobilizes its Disaster Relief Units (DRU), custom-built tractor-trailers, to impacted communities and pairs volunteers with trained leaders who equip and send them into the community to assist families with emergency clean-up and repairs. Our focus is on restoring homes and properties at no cost to allow families to safely return home following the disaster.
We responded to the needs of those who have been devastated by disasters following the example of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 and keeping with Christ’s command to “go and do likewise.”
