Meskwaki Emergency Management partnered with Red Cross in order to obtain a mobile trailer that houses 100 emergency shelter kits. These kits include things like cots, blankets, toiletries and other items that can be used in the case of an emergency situation that displaces a mass amount of tribal community members from their homes.
This mobile trailer came at no cost to the tribe from Red Cross. Red Cross and Meskwaki Emergency Management also aim to facilitate a training on the usage of the kits to the tribal community as well as other trainings pertaining to emergency situations.
All in effort to “Prepare, Respond, Recover…Together”
Big thanks to Red Cross for this acquisition and partnership.
