Crisis Response International (CRI) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that resources, trains and mobilizes volunteers, churches and other organizations to respond to disasters and compassion initiatives around the world. CRI provides a model and framework for responding to disaster situations and delivering resources to areas that would otherwise be off-limits to volunteers. Our procedures and training avoid what the government calls “the second disaster,” referring to the chaos that often ensues when spontaneous resources and untrained volunteers arrive on scene. CRI is a disaster relief organization that designed to integrate with local, state, and federal response efforts. This is possible because of our relationships with community, state, and federal level volunteer organizations that are actively involved in disaster relief. CRI manages operations, resources and personnel to carry out various tasks and services that assist victims of disaster and crisis.
