Emergency Response
The Indian subcontinent is among the world’s most disaster prone areas. Almost 85% of India’s area is vulnerable to one or multiple hazard. Of the 28 states and 7 union territories, 22 are disaster-prone.
Further, it is also facing extreme environmental changes due to climate change. Islamic Relief India’s identified geographies and target populations are prone to multiple, recurring disasters and also facing the brunt of climate change. Therefore, as part of our global mandate and local priority Islamic Relief India strives to provide assistance and protection to the most vulnerable populations.
In addition to responding to emergencies we have commitment to help communities rebuild their lives, to restore their livelihoods, to build their resilience to face disasters and to achieve long-term sustainable development.
