Emergencies - How World Vision respond
When disaster strikes, a quick and relevant response can save lives
Responding quickly
World Vision's Global Rapid Response Team is positioned strategically around the world, along with stock piles of crucial items such as first-aid kits, water and emergency shelters. This means that they can respond quickly when an emergency strikes.
Relieving suffering
World Vision distributes safe water, food, medical aid, shelters, blankets and cooking pots in the immediate aftermath of an emergency - these items are badly needed for survival.
Reconstructing lives
World Vision helps families to recover from an emergency long-term - working alongside communities to rebuild homes, businesses, schools and livelihoods.
Reducing risks
World Vision trains communities and introduces measures to help families be better prepared and more resiliant for future emergencies.
