Dominican Red Cross was founded in 1927.[1] Activities performed include the distribution of aid following disasters; education on vector borne disease avoidance (inc. Zika Virus and Dengue Virus); first aid training; and sanitation improvement.[2] Community engagement is strongly pushed, and routine work consists of door to door visits and community meetings, to raise awareness of issues and coping strategies.
