The Catastrophic Relief Alliance (CRA) was formed after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This organization strives to provide both monetary and physical support through the rebuilding of areas afflicted by natural disasters.

Organizing biannual trips to various locations, CRA members act as both humanitarians and diplomats of Franklin And Marshall College.
