American Red Cross International Services helps vulnerable people and communities around the world prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and health emergencies by mobilizing the power of the world's largest humanitarian network, made up of 186 Red Cross and Red Crescent national societies and more than 97 million volunteers. In all our work, we abide by the seven fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality.

• Disaster Response and Recovery including the Tsunami Recovery Program
• Disaster Preparedness
• Disease Prevention including the Measles Initiative, malaria prevention and HIV/AIDS programs
• International Family Tracing
• Dissemination of International Humanitarian Law and Exploring Humanitarian Law

Working with our partners around the globe, the American Red Cross helps to build the local capacities of our sister Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, collaborates with those to train and organize volunteers and educate communities, and establishes partnerships with other public and private organizations to strengthen and complement our core international services and initiatives.
