Emergency Relief Companies Fill Critical Needs During Disasters



Natural disasters can occur anywhere at any time, causing millions of dollars damage and displacing thousands of people. When a disaster hits, emergency response teams are dispatched to the affected area and, more often than not, an emergency relief company will be employed to assist government agencies.

Responding to a Disaster


Typically, first responders will secure the disaster area, conduct evacuation and rescue, provide medical care, and perform crowd control to ensure the safety of those in the area. Once a governor has declared a state emergency, government emergency teams will come in and provide an initial assessment and aid.

Meeting Basic Needs

Based on this assessment and the impact of the disaster, certain needs must be addressed and taken care of quickly. These usually include food, safe water, shelter, medical care, sanitation, waste disposal, and essential comfort items.

Providing Essential Services

Emergency relief or disaster management companies play a key role in filling these needs. They are able to provide additional services and resources that state or local government might lack. They can also assist by adding a level of safety and comfort that is crucial in helping people cope with a disaster.
For example, most emergency relief companies are capable of bringing in and setting up hand washing stations; potable water and gray water vehicles; mobile shower, laundry, medical, and sleeping units; mobile restrooms; and food catering services. They employ personnel who are trained in the proper use of these resources and experienced in working in disaster conditions.

Tallying the Costs

There has been an increase in the number of disasters in the United States over the past several years. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 16 natural disasters accounted for 3,278 deaths and around $306 billion in 2017, a record year for natural disasters in the U.S. Given the scale and complexity of today’s disasters and the loss they incur, the need for emergency relief companies becomes more significant.

Cosmoderm Luminous A Retinol Review

In general, most people are advised to start using retinol in their mid-20s. Why do we need retinol for our skin? Well, this is because collagen and elastin production starts to slow down. Adding retinol into our skincare routine at age of 25 to 30 is the perfect time to slow down the ageing process. So, what is retinol that people are hyping about? In short, retinol is a topical product containing a vitamin A derivative. Technically speaking a type of retinoid which works to increase collagen production. It helps to treat acne, and blackheads and is also ideal to improve skincare texture such as minimising fine lines, and wrinkles and brightening dull skin. Personally, I am a beginner in adding Retinol into my skincare routine. At the age of 47 years old. I guess, am afraid to start one because I read many side effects if use it wrong.  What is the side effect if you use retinol wrong?  Retinols can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. So, it is advisable to apply this at

Different between Rebonding and Keratin Treatment

Frizzy Hair Solution Naturally, I born wavy and wild frizzy hair. I hate that frizzy hair style. It make me look untidy and less attractive. WTH! Don't throw up please!!!! The only solution to my knowledge all this while is rebonding hair treatment. I have been doing this almost every year. I am worried about getting my hair ironed every year. Gosh! I am not getting anymore younger so does my hair. How long this poor hair of mine can stand that heavy chemical treatment coated on and flat iron it with the heat straightening iron. Even my neck almost drop putting up with the long hours procedures. I was invited to try out Keratin Treatment at A Cut Above. I am glad to finally try this out.
