Red Cross Sint Maarten conducts needs assessments to identify the specific needs of individuals and communities affected by disasters or crises. These assessments help determine the most effective ways to provide aid and assistance, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively.

Needs assessments may involve surveys, interviews, and community consultations to gather information on urgent needs such as food, shelter, medical care, and other essential services.

Red Cross Sint Maarten can offer cash voucher assistance as part of its disaster relief efforts. These vouchers can be used to purchase essential items such as food, water, shelter materials, and other necessities. This program provides a crucial lifeline to individuals and families affected by disasters, enabling them to meet their immediate needs and recover from the crisis.

The CVA process:

Registration: Affected individuals and families can register for cash voucher assistance at designated locations. Also, pre-registration will be available to those who already know that they will need the voucher assistance. Visit the website for the registration process.

Verification: Red Cross verifies the eligibility of applicants based on their needs and the
