Description
Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) is a division of The Salvation Army that provides services to support the basic needs of those who are affected by disasters. These disasters include fires, floods, severe weather and many times when first responders are dispatched. Our volunteers try to meet the basic needs of survivors and first responders in the field (food,water and shelter). Once we have met those needs, EDS provides support, encouragement and assistance trying to make their live whole once again.
