WRVS has trained teams of community support volunteers on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to respond to emergencies. When an incident happens, WRVS is there to support that local community through the challenges and help them recover. In emergencies requiring evacuation, such as floods, bomb scares or fires, they set up rest centres providing shelter, refreshments, registration and information, and catering for special needs such as medication or pet care. They also provide emergency feeding at the rest centres, which may involve serving three meals a day to large numbers of people for extended periods. They have all the systems in place to organise food supplies on a large scale.
