Emergency
What is an Emergency?
An emergency is a large-scale crisis that destroys the lives of individuals, wrecks communities and overwhelms their ability to cope. A humanitarian emergency can take different forms and has a major impact on people, environment, infrastructure and buildings.
Disasters include flooding, earthquakes, droughts, hurricanes, tsunamis and locust attacks. Often a natural disaster can trigger other emergencies such as famine or conflict. The emergency needs immediate action to prevent a deterioration of the situation and any further loss of lives. A prompt and relevant response can save lives and improve a community\'s ability to cope with the disaster. KHF India works with governments, other non-governmental organizations, local communities and local peoples to prepare for and prevent rapidly and slowly occurring disasters.
When disaster strikes, a quick and relevant response can save lives. Your support helps thousands of families and communities every year.
