Local Disaster Relief Service

About Us  

 The HKRC Local Disaster Relief Service (LDRS) of the HKRC was established in 1951. We are committed to providing appropriate humanitarian support to vulnerable people affected by disasters and crises, such as climate, urban or public health disasters or emergencies. Apart from relief, we also provide services related to pre-disaster early warning early actions and post-disaster early recovery to meet urgent needs before, during or after the disaster.  

Emergency and Regular Service - Application of relief materials 

We are currently the only organization in Hong Kong supporting the Social Welfare Department to provide 24-hour emergency services and relief materials for people affected by local disasters or emergencies upon referral by Government departments or non governmental organizations. Relief materials in our regular service include clothing, blankets, and daily necessities.  

Persons requiring assistance can apply through contacting us or other agencies such as the Social Welfare Department, Medical Social Services in hospitals, Correctional Services Department or other social services in non-governmental organizations. 

Disaster Response  

Apart from our regular service, we also provide humanitarian support based on humanitarian need assessment on disaster or emergency events.
