Emergency Response
CARE has a team of emergency professionals to assist in immediate relief and long-term rehabilitation for communities that are directly impacted upon by man-made or natural disasters. They provide communities with support, shelter, food, sanitation and health facilities in times of crisis, as well as working with those that are vulnerable to disasters to reduce their future impact.
In recent years, CARE has provided emergency relief to those affected by emergencies such as Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar, post-election violence in Kenya, earthquake in Pakistan and the Boxing Day Tsunami.

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or response:
“In this country, you never pull the emergency brake, even when there is an emergency. It is imperative that the trains run on schedule.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“Perhaps nothing in all my business has helped me more than faith in my fellow man. From the very first I felt confident that I could trust the great, friendly public. So I told it quite simply what I thought, what I felt, what I was trying to do. And the response was quick, sure, and immediate.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
