Supplies stored at Clara Barton's home, ready for disaster assistance, provided the necessities of survival - food, clothing, and shelter; but also provided tools for cleaning-up and rebuilding. Her principle was be prepared before the disaster occured. "Before us now lie the problems of the future, and the question is: How shall we meet them? As friends of humanity, while there is still a possibility of war or calamity, it behooves us to prepare... the world-wide motto of the Red Cross:
In time of peace and prosperity, prepare for war and calamity."
