preparedness; and Health and Care in the

values , which encourage respect for
other human beings and a willingness to

problems. From the seven fundamental
principles, the movement aims to influence

Disaster response continues to represent
the largest portion of IRCS work, with
assistance to millions of people annually
ranging from refugees to victims of natural
disasters.

48. Disaster preparedness
• The sharp increase in the number of
natural disasters countrywide in recent
years has prompted the Red Cross to

preparedness activities. These aim to
make Red Cross Societies and
communities more aware of the risks they
face, how to reduce their vulnerability, and
how to cope when disaster strikes.

even the most basic health services and
elementary health education. Health and
community care has become a cornerstone of

enable communities to reduce their vulnerability
to disease, and prepare for and respond to
public health crises.
