Emergency Response
Disasters can strike at any time without warning. Help us prepare to respond quickly and effectively to unexpected calamity.
In an instant, life can change for millions of families. Natural disasters can take homes and what little possessions they have. The outbreak of war and threat of violence can drive families from their homes.
When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
From the Indian Ocean tsunami to China's Sichuan earthquake to conflict in the Congo, Mercy Corps rushes to the scene to help families.
