The Functions Of Disaster Relief Ministry

By Enid Hinton


In the 21st century the epic battle between man and the environmental elements continues. We have witnessed an upsurge in natural disasters occurring and causing great havoc. From the Hurricanes of the Coasts of the Americas to the earthquakes and Tsunamis in the Eastern part of South Asia one cannot help but think our planet is one ticking time bomb. The Disaster relief ministry keeps note of this events and the destructive trail they leave at their wake. Indeed Natural Disasters have led to loss of lives on a grand scale and left property of great value destroyed. The good news is that they are steps one can take to play a wider role in the efforts to assist those who are affected.

Most people can vividly remember the dreadful images that accompany these disasters. They are desperate cries of mothers, who want to be reunited with their children. They are pitiful moans of those who have been injured and as always the nauseating stench of death.

In disaster situations they are people who are always who may need blood urgently. You can assist by donating blood to these relief agencies. This you do not have to do only at the time of crisis. Be proactive and go to any of the blood donation centers that are around you.

A number of organizations have come up to deal with the needs of these victims. Their main purpose is to help the people affected recover and pick up their lives. They understand those are tough a time for families and support is what they need most. These organizations are philanthropic in nature.

In other instances, Governments are the ones behind these relief agencies. The Government understands the role played by these agencies is crucial and they are more motivated to deal with these situations. To this end a proper regulatory framework is set up to oversee their activities in the country.

Many countries have contingency plans that incorporate the relief agencies or committees. They are tasked with transportation of food, clothes and medical supplies to the affected areas. They can also get tenders to supply the very same materials to the country administration during a time of crisis. Where there is need for it, they are allowed to take immediate action without government approval. This is necessary to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. The affected people can be transferred to properties owned by the agencies for temporary shelter. Here dedicated volunteers are ready to cater to their most pressing needs.

Sending notes for Consolation can be of great comfort to the victims. They will feel appreciated and think they are not the only ones grieving. Instead everybody is aware of their predicament and is praying for their quick recovery.

This usually comprises of ensuring both conflicting parties know of your mission and agree to let you operate free of reprisals and attacks. After establishing the facts on the ground decisions such as number of people to be sent and sum of materials are next. These decisions are crucial and can affect the lives of many victims.
