The Icelandic Red Cross is the primary provider of emergency shelter and psychosocial support within the Icelandic Civil Protection and Emergency Management System. The organization launched a logistical campaign in 2015 by pre-stocking shelter items in selected locations around the island. The idea is to enhance and streamline response capacity in all parts of the country. Compact trailers were chosen to maximize mobility and scalability. The project is supported by a central Red Cross warehouse in the Reykjavik Area.

Each trailer consists of cots, blankets, a generator, various safety items, hygiene and cleaning items, snacks, jerrycans, a first aid kit, tools, fire extinguisher and products for women and children. An IT/telecom-kit with WIFI and a rapid charging station for cell phones is under development.

To date, 20 trailers have been purchased and distributed. Procurement is underway for several more. The project is supported by ISAVIA.
