Importance Of Disaster Relief Ministry

By Eloise Hewitt


The importance of this ministry has been felt world wide. It avails resources that are necessary in times of disasters to victims. Disaster relief ministry covers a variety of natural disaster. The organization has been credited for its quick response whenever an emergency occurs.

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 sometimes responds to environmental crises. Such calamities are mostly caused by technological and industrial misconduct or damage by people. In the past these kind of accidents have occurred in areas where products are manufactured and processed. However we have some incidents of such calamities during transportation of the products. Some of these occurrences include extreme fires due to careless practices by people.

The body continues to give support even after the disaster. It helps victims go through the recovery process and also heal psychologically, emotionally and economically. This step is very vital has it helps place people in their initial state before the occurrence of the emergency. Recovery program mes often involve purchasing and reconstruction of 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 organization encourages efforts at personal level to prevent tragedies. This helps a great deal because it has been observed that majority of the disasters are human initiated. The community should realize that the movement works for them and support in the ways they can to ensure that the environment is always safe for people to live in. Encouraging individual efforts helps a lot since humans beings are the closest people to the resources in the environment and interacting carefully with them means less occurrence calamities.

Most of the times when disaster strikes a place, faith groups are the first to help. In the past incidences once a disaster stricken area is open for people to help, faith based organization arrive before the government can come in to offer their support.

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.
