Ways To Assist The Disaster Relief Ministry

By Enid Hinton


The times we leave in are uncertain and fraught with disasters and unexplained occurrences. We hear news of Tsunamis, Earthquakes and Hurricanes on a regular basis. The loss of life and property when this occurs are of epic proportions. This problem is compounded with those caused as a result of human mistakes and negligence. The Disaster relief ministry efforts strive to mitigate the effects of these situations. The disasters tear away at the very fabric of our societies causing them to be emotionally and physically scarred for generations. They leave nothing but destruction and ruins in their wake.

Prayer is a very powerful tool that is at your disposal. Human beings since the beginning of time have placed their faith in powers bigger than them. They have also placed their problems and fears. Prayer is not only so that God can help the families affected overcome the trouble in their lives. It can also make you feel better about yourself. In your own way, you are showing concern and solidarity with the victims of these disasters.

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.

Once the organizations have been mobilized they are a number of key decisions they have to make. Before this is done they have to first get the facts on the ground. If it is a warzone they have to ascertain whether it is secure enough for their volunteers to operate.

Ensure the notes you send are in an easily understood language that anyone can understand. You can send the notes through the church missions, the relief organizations, schools and newspapers. The message on the note should also be clear and straight to the point. Avoid talking in generalities.
