Contextual Framework. The Red Cross has a special role in major aviation disasters. Under the provisions of the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996 (PL 104-264), airlines, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and a “designated independent nonprofit organization” are given specific responsibilities with regard to coordinating the emotional care and support of the families of passengers involved in aviation disasters. The NTSB, as part of its Federal Family Assistance Plan for Aviation Disasters, has designated the Red Cross as the organization responsible for family care and mental health, and the Red Cross has accepted this role.
