Disaster Relief
Disaster relief is a comprehensive effort that involves various
components to ensure the effective response, recovery, and
rehabilitation of affected communities. The key components of
disaster relief efforts include the provision of essential resources and
the institutional arrangements that enable effective response and
recovery.
Water

systems. methods.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
The Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have been instrumental in providing water resources in various
disaster-stricken regions around the world. This organization focuses on ensuring access to safe drinking water,
promoting sanitation, and addressing water-related health risks, especially during disasters and emergencies.
Their work related to water can be categorized into two key areas:
1. Emergency Water Supply:
The Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies provide clean drinking water during disasters by trucking water,
installing treatment plants, and distributing bottled water.
2. Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) :
They promote hygiene practices, build sanitation infrastructure, and distribute purification tablets to prevent
waterborne diseases like cholera.
The Role played by the Red Cross and Red

Crescent Societies
The Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies played a massive
role during the Nepal (2015 Earthquake). Following the 7.8
magnitude earthquake, the Red Cross set up emergency
water treatment facilities and distributed clean drinking
water to affected areas.

World Food Programme (WFP)
The World Food Programme (WFP) has responded to numerous

disasters worldwide, providing food assistance and relief. Their work
related to food can be categorized into two key areas:
1. Emergency Food Relief:
The World Food Programme (WFP) provides immediate food
assistance during disasters by delivering in-kind food items, cash-
based transfers, and nutrition products to affected populations.
2. Coordination and Support:
WFP collaborates with local governments, NGOs, and other UN
agencies to ensure efficient food distribution and supports long-
term recovery by rebuilding food systems and improving resilience.
The Role played by The World Food Programme

(WFP)
The World Food Programme played a massive role during the
Pakistan Floods (2022). WFP responded to the severe floods in
Pakistan, providing emergency food relief to millions of people
affected by the disaster.
Sanitation
Waste Management Hygiene Facilities
Proper waste collection, Providing access to toilets,
treatment, and disposal are showers, handwash facilities

for long-term health and important for sustainable
disease prevention. recovery.
World Health Organization (WHO)
World Health Organization (WHO):
WHO provides guidance and support on sanitation and hygiene in emergencies,
including water quality testing, hygiene promotion, and the establishment of
sanitation facilities.
1. Sanitation and Hygiene Support:

The World Health Organization (WHO) provides emergency sanitation and
hygiene services during disasters by establishing latrines, repairing water
infrastructure, and distributing hygiene kits to prevent disease outbreaks.
2. Disease Prevention and Control:

WHO offers guidance on infection prevention and control, including sanitation
measures and hygiene practices, to reduce the spread of diseases in disaster-
affected areas.
The Role played by The World Health Organization

(WHO)
The World Health Organization (WHO) played a massive role during the Haiti
Earthquake (2010). After the devastating earthquake, WHO helped in establishing
emergency sanitation and hygiene facilities, including the construction of latrines
and distribution of hygiene kits to prevent the spread of diseases like cholera.
Shelter
1 Emergency Shelters
Providing temporary, emergency shelters like tents or
community centers to protect survivors from the elements.
2 Transitional Housing
Establishing transitional housing options, such as
prefabricated units or repaired homes, to bridge the gap until
permanent housing is available.
3 Permanent Reconstruction
Supporting the long-term reconstruction of housing and
infrastructure to help disaster-affected communities rebuild
and recover.
CARE International
CARE International is a leading humanitarian organization that
provides shelter and support during disasters. Their approach
involves both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts to
ensure affected populations have access to safe and secure
housing. Their work related to shelter can be categorized into two
key areas:
1. Emergency Shelter Provision:
CARE International provides immediate shelter relief during
disasters by distributing tents, tarps, and shelter kits to displaced
populations.
2. Reconstruction and Long-Term Support:
CARE assists in repairing and rebuilding homes, supporting both
temporary and permanent housing solutions, and involving
communities in the reconstruction process.

Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
responded to numerous disasters in the United States since its
beginning. FEMA’s work related to medical facilities can be
categorized into two key areas:
1.Emergency Medical Services: This includes deploying medical
teams, setting up field hospitals, and distributing medical
supplies during disasters.
2.Infrastructure Support: FEMA helps restore damaged hospitals
and healthcare facilities, ensuring continuity of medical services
post-disaster.
The Role played by The Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) played a
major role in response and recovery efforts after Hurricane
Sandy (2012), which caused extensive damage along the East
Coast United State, particularly in New York and New Jersey.
Waste Management
Debris Removal
Clearing debris and rubble to restore access and
prevent further damage or health hazards.
Waste Collection
Establishing efficient waste collection systems to
handle the increased volume of waste generated during
a disaster.
Recycling and Disposal

Implementing recycling programs and safe waste
disposal methods to minimize environmental impact.
Institutional Arrangements
Mitigation Identifying and addressing potential risks to reduce the impact
of disasters, such as infrastructure reinforcement and early
warning systems.
Response Coordinating the immediate deployment of resources and

personnel to assist affected populations and manage the crisis.
Preparedness Developing emergency plans, training personnel, and stockpiling

supplies to ensure readiness for future disasters.
Conclusion
Comprehensive disaster relief efforts, encompassing the key
components outlined in this presentation, are essential for supporting
affected communities and enabling a successful recovery. By working
together, we can build more resilient and prepared societies in the
face of future challenges.
