Synopsis

Documentary that goes inside the Washington, D.C. "nerve center" of the Red Cross, where managers explain how they organize their massive relief operations -- and coordinate the chaos of working on about 70 active disasters at a time. With the help of Red Cross leaders like Armond Mascelli, senior director of disaster services, viewers learn how it all comes together: the storm tracking, the population and property evaluation, damage assessment, dispatch of aid vehicles and distribution of supplies, volunteer training and rotation, and psychological support for both volunteers and the people they help.
