The Flint water crisis is a man-made disaster caused by lead contamination in the water supply. The Red Cross has distributed over 400,000 packs of bottled water, prioritizing vulnerable groups like children and the elderly. Flint's economic struggles, including job outsourcing and high poverty rates, exacerbated the crisis.
