Red Cross and Red Crescent voted top for international diaster relief
The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC has been voted by experts as the top organisation for international emergency response.
Experts working in the field of international emergency response were asked by web magazine, Philanthropedia, to recommend up to three nonprofits doing high-impact work across multiple countries/regions, and up to three nonprofits doing high-impact work in a specific country/region because we want to be able to highlight both large and smaller scale nonprofits working in the field of disaster relief.
Both natural and man-made disasters (war displacement disasters) because the response, preparation, and recovery efforts are very similar for both natural and man-made disasters. Experts were asked to identify nonprofits working in both slow and fast onset of disasters. Nonprofits being recommended can be working in one or more of the following areas: health, food, shelter, water, sanitation, security, medicine, non-food items (pots, pans, water containers, etc.), technical assistance, and other areas.
