Challenge

In order to save as many people as possible, the help of search and rescue troops is particularly important in the first few days after the disaster. The people whose homes have been damaged or destroyed urgently need safe and warm emergency shelters, as well as food, drinking water and medical assistance. Since many hospitals themselves are affected or are overwhelmed, additional medical staff is needed in the regions. Due to the cold temperatures, relief supplies such as blankets, clothing

Solution

In the first few days, the focus is on acute emergency aid: in addition to rescue work, medical aid and the distribution of food, drinking water and medicines, emergency shelters are organised.

Long-Term Impact

Alleviate suffering and give hope to the local children, women and men in times of crisis.
