| Alleviating people affected by disaster from pain and loss, giving them a hope for the future and assist them in rebuilding their lives is the focus of Disaster intervention programmes. EFICOR was involved in major disasters of the country and in about 10 – 15 minor disasters each year. |
Relief Major
disaster interventions are carried out by EFICOR directly with
the assistance of volunteers, while minor relief programmes are
carried out by the partner groups. Priority is given to interior
areas which usually are not covered by other NGOs and duplication
is avoided. Beneficiaries are selected according to need across
sections of the community and care is taken that all of them receive
the assistance. |
Rehabilitation Rehabilitation
programmes are aimed at restoring the affected communities back
to as close as possible to their living condition before the disaster
affected. Different kinds of rehabilitation programmes are undertaken,
ie. Food for Work, Reconstruction of houses, Restoration of land
for cultivation, etc. |
| Preparedness
and Mitigation |
Community
based disaster preparedness programmes are organised in selected
disaster prone areas, to train the people to respond immediately
and appropriately so as to minimise the damage when a disaster
strikes.
