Disaster Relief Ministry A Disaster Savior

By Eloise Hewitt


This is an organization that responds to disasters by offering the necessary resources in the hour of need. The ministry covers a numbers of natural calamities. Disaster relief ministry has been celebrated worldly for its quick response to emergencies.

Catastrophes are not occasions that make people smile and quit often they result to loss of huge property and lives of people. They need different approaches since some are human initiated while others are caused by nature. Disaster relief groups have touched so many lives as they give support at the hour of need. They organize themselves well so that they work effectively. For example they have strategic safety measures that help them serve the victims well.

The institution at times responds when environmental calamities take place. These kind of crises are caused by careless human practices, industrial damage and harmful technological innovations. From past scenarios these kinds of accidents have taken place areas where extraction, manufacturing and processing are carried out.

The ministry helps victims go through the recovery process by offering support even after the calamity. This helps the affected heal faster economically, psychologically and emotionally. The support is meant to help people get back to the kind of lives they lived before the calamity occurred. This often involves purchasing, counseling and rebuilding property for the victims.

It is not possible to prevent disasters. However, people can adopt a lifestyle that helps reduce the probability of such occurrences. In this view it is essential that public cooperate with the ministry in ensuring that all the mitigation measures are observed. Tragedies bring a lot of loss hence working towards preventing them is better than dealing with the disaster. This saves people emotional, economic and psychological pains. Despite the precautions we might take it should be noted that we cannot predict or fully prevent some of these situations hence they can ambush human being any time.

The community should work with disaster management organizations to see to it that the environment is always safe for human life. It is important for the public to realize that the institution works for their own good and give them maximum support whenever necessary. The community should realize that most of the calamities that are caused by human beings can be prevented at an individual level.

Most times when calamities strike a place the first groups to respond to the emergency are faith based organizations. It has been observed that whenever a place is open for emergency res-ponders faith groups offer they help long before the government emergency groups can come in.

These ministries are met to help victims in time of trouble. This gives them an opportunity to interact closely with the public, build stronger relationships and spread the gospel of Christ. People are more opened when they are hurting hence faith movements take advantage of such opportunities and share the gospel. We have seen this taken place in disaster stricken areas.
