Description
Disasters such as earthquakes, floods, famine and war often occur when people least expect them. When such disasters strike, immediate action is needed to save lives.
This website sets out how Irish aid agencies and the Irish government respond to emergencies, and it presents some of the basic principles of Irish aid. The Irish aid agencies (‘NGOs’) would not be able to do their work without the strong support from you, the public.
Ireland has a proud tradition of helping the victims of disaster, right across the world. Without your generosity many thousands of lives would have been needlessly lost. This website provides suggestions on how you can help aid agencies to continue to give the right kind of aid. It has been developed in order to inform everyone – from staff working in aid agencies to members of the public – about how best to lend support in a time of emergency
