Energency Preparedness & Response

Emergency Preparedness & Response

Our Reason for Action
Increased conflicts, political instability and climate change are factors responsible for increased humanitarian emergencies globally. Humanitarian emergencies resulting from climate change are particularly predicted to be on the increase in the years ahead. Less developed and less prepared regions of the world will suffer the greatest setbacks. Disasters are known to reverse development gains and reinforce poverty. Therefore, preparing for and responding to humanitarian emergencies is an essential part of Global Relief work of fighting poverty and protecting lives and properties. We will help people cope with crises by:
• Reducing Disaster Risks; helping communities identify disaster risks and developing community-based action plans to reduce such risks is a key to preventing and preparing for emergencies.
• Providing emergency relief, such as food, water, healthcare and shelter
• Building capacity for preparedness and response to emergencies
• Ensuring Post-crisis recovery.
