Disaster Preparedness | Ready Before the Storm

It goes to two things. A family on a coast at high risk of storms or floods gets a preparedness bag before the season and the community gets preparedness training.

It holds a torch with a whistle beside a first aid kit. Water purification tablets and a waterproof pouch that keeps papers dry come with them. Each item is shown to the family at the handover.

Our own field team does in the United States. Abroad our team works alongside local partners in Fiji.

No. The team picks the town or village and the family by risk. The team also decides whether a gift goes to bags or to training.

Every dollar spent on getting ready can save up to fifteen in recovery. Preparation cuts the loss of life.

Within 72 hours your account shows where the family lives and the season it is preparing for and the work your gift paid for. The handover or training day follows.

Schools hold disaster drills and children and parents learn first aid. People learn to save wet documents and rescue drills are held with the local fire service.

We make no such promise. A disaster may never come. The bag stays in the family's hands either way.

No. The bag carries no food or drinking water. It holds purification tablets.
