What is the main role of NGOs in disaster
management?
2

• NGOs in disaster management aim at bringing
  life-saving support in times of disaster. Their
  immediate response and recovery mechanisms help
  lessen the impact of the disasters. You
  can donate online and do your part in helping
  people through World Vision India a child-focused
  humanitarian organization with expertise in
  disaster management.

• You can do your part in helping vulnerable people
  by partnering with this NGO in disaster
  management. You can partner with us and donate
  online.
• We are committed to long-term rehabilitation,
  helping communities affected by natural disasters
  or conflicts get back on their feet. Being an NGO
  in disaster management we also work to make
  vulnerable communities more resilient so that
  they can respond immediately if disasters occur.
  From the Gujarat Earthquake to the 2004 Tsunami,
  to the most recent Kerala floods and the
  Hurricane Amphan in May 2020 and the current
  Covid -19 pandemic, weve been there, responding
  to the immediate needs of those affected.

PREVENTING PEOPLES
World Vision India, an NGO in disaster
management, has been integrating Community-Based
DRR in all its programmes post Tsunami in
December 2004. With our presence in 23 states
and 3 union territories of the country, serving
over 26 lakh children, it is our responsibility
to build resilient communities. We have been
responding to the needs of communities affected
by Cyclone Amphan in our projects in Kolkata and
Bengal. These regions have already been reeling
under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the
cyclone has turned out to be an environmental
catastrophe and a social disaster, making the
rehabilitation process for both the disasters a
lot harder. The devastating effects of both the
disasters will result in development-deficit if
communities are not provided timely assistance to
restore and strengthen their traditional
livelihoods. As an NGO in disaster management,
our Strategic mandate prioritizes building
resilient communities through a four-pronged
approach which addresses managing disaster risks
natural, manmade and environmental and climate
change context Social vulnerabilities Economic
vulnerabilities and Beliefs and value
system. Our ultimate goal is aimed at preserving
life, preventing and alleviating suffering and
strengthening resilient communities affected by
any kind of disaster including slow onset. Our
Area Development Programmers (ADPs) aim is to
ensure that vulnerable communities are able to
recover better. We also reinforce the importance
of coordinated and effective mental health
responding during emergencies.

SOCIAL RESPONSE
Through COVID-19 Relief Response, World Vision
India has helped over 4.8 million people since
March 2020. We have provided food assistance
through cooked food and dry rations to over
565,751, people and 810,562 masks and 77,080
gloves sets to community volunteers and health
care facilities. As the country fights the
second wave of COVID-19, our response will mainly
focus on strengthening health care systems,
providing psycho-social support through trained
community volunteers, creating awareness around
vaccination, making it accessible to all and
enabling them to avail it and strengthening
community preparedness to deal with the surge of
COVID-19. If you are wondering how you can help?
Partnering with an NGO in disaster management
would be the ideal option. You can be at the
comfort of your home and donate online to help
vulnerable people overcome these challenges.
