What is disaster rwlief?

Answer 1

Disaster relief is a set of actions taken by citizens, governments, and/or international organizations to deal with some national or international crises, notably natural disasters (hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.).

Disaster relief generally requires immediate action (quick response) to disasters, and is primarily targeted toward short-term alleviation of the impact of the disaster.

Disaster relief can take many forms. It can be aid money that goes directly to the government(s) affected, or foreign troops and medical assistance, or aid volunteers, or emergency supplies (food, water, shelter). Disaster relief generally aims to save as many lives as possible, and often deals with issues like population displacement, survival needs, and treating disaster victims.

Some of the many international organizations that are responsible for disaster relief are the Red Cross, the United Nations, and the World Bank, among many, many others.
