Emergencies and Disaster Mitigation

No person and no country is exempt from the risk of emergency or natural disaster. Catastrophes, whether man-made or natural disasters, can claim thousands of lives in an instant.

In an emergency situation families can be stripped of their possessions, leaving children vulnerable and helpless. They are left particularly vulnerable to illness and trauma, requiring special care and attention at a time when it’s least likely to be available.

World Vision, with a global network of relief teams and offices, is active in nearly 100 countries, so when an emergency happens response can be immediate.

Through Children in Crisis – Emergencies and Disaster Mitigation you can be part of providing immediate help to those affected in emergency situations.

From famines, droughts, earthquakes and tsunamis, to typhoons, floods and war, with your contributions World Vision will have the funds available to meet people’s needs as soon as disaster hits.
