Governmental organizations are charged with the protection of life, limb, and property during major disasters. That's why the MCTF was created. We address humanitarian needs resulting from major disasters. We are activated only when a catastrophic disaster occurs that affects 250,000 individuals and 37,500 need shelter.
In times of disaster, MCTF supports immediate food, shelter, volunteers, communication, and management. Each organization's primary disaster responsibilities relate to their general areas of expertise. VolunteerNow recruits and assigns volunteers needed to assist in mass care relief efforts, the American Red Cross recruits and trains volunteers to manage shelter operations, the North Texas Food Bank provides food and drink, and the Salvation Army prepares and serves meals.
MCTF supports immediate response for disasters right after they happen. This group will be ready when disaster strikes here locally or we are sheltering those from nearby.
