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.

Disasters are very traumatizing situations and require support and reassurance that life will go back to normal. Calamities are diverse hence they should be approached differently. Some of them are caused by nature while others are human initiated. The organization works under the principle of responding in the hour of need hence it has touched many lives. They are well organized and always on the move which makes their services more effective.

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 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 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.

Disaster response groups are met to help people in the hour of need. Faith groups view this as a chance to approach people at a personal level, demonstrate the love of Jesus and spread the gospel. Human beings are more open to receiving help when they are hurting. Faith based organizations take it as an opportunity to build stronger relationship with the public and share the gospel of Christ. This has been evident over and over.
