Disasters can come in many forms. Whether the disaster is weather-related, a geological event, or caused by human actions or inactions, the main goal of disas­ter response and recovery is to protect humans and the environment from immediate danger and help communities get back on their feet.

We focus on meeting the immediate needs of communities in the aftermath of disasters. Working with capable partners, we help reduce suffering, the loss of lives, and community assets. We are pre-positioned with organizations to enable swift responses to natural disasters in the United States and internationally.
