It’s all about giving, it’s all about trust 

It’s all about people, it’s all about us 

It’s all about being human and having a heart 

It’s all about being human and playing your part 

It’s all about healing, it’s all about life 

It’s all about helping the weak survive 

It’s all about being human and able to care 

It’s all about being human and ready to share

RED CROSS:72 hour SURVIVAL KIT

We know disasters strike when we least expect them. They become great levelers in the aftermath, causing irreparable damages to lives and property. Given the magnitude of its effects, we must ask ourselves, "Am I prepared?"

Acting on this premise, the Philippine Red Cross is campaigning to encourage all households to be smart and assemble their own 72-hour survival kit. Preparedness spells the difference in the crucial first 72 hours of a disaster as they wait for assistance to arrive.

A Memory Of Solferino

ICRC publication 1986 ref. 0361 by Henry Dunant
A Memory of Solferino
Foreword
Ever since its inception over a century ago, the Red Cross has been providing protection and assistance to
those in distress.
In normal circumstances, in the organized society in which he usually lives, man is protected by laws and
finds sustenance close at hand. But there are also situations, such as armed conflicts or natural disasters,
when society is thrown out of kilter, laws are violated, man's natural environment is turned into chaos, and
his safety, health and very survival are threatened: in times like those the Red Cross strives to help and
protect the victims.
