Temporary accommodation, food and clothing support for people evacuated from their homes during an emergency.
CSRD Emergency Support Services volunteers help evacuees meet basic needs such as accommodation, food and clothing. Access the service at a Reception Centre after the local authority activates one and directs evacuees there. Supports depend on the emergency and household needs; this is not a standing day-to-day support program.
