Disaster response timeline
When disaster strikes, World Vision's plan of action includes a
series of different stages to come to the aid of survivors.
Depending on the needs of each emergency, these stages may overlap
and may follow a varied pattern. However, the first priority would
always be to save as many lives as possible by providing immediate
emergency aid. Recovery work and the long-term rebuilding of
communities will come later. Meanwhile, World Vision offices around
the world would be raising awareness and funds to help finance
World Vision's emergency relief work. The PDF below explains the
process, which can last up to five years or longer.
