Disaster response efforts require rapid mobilization, but the help must be of the right type. Direct Relief’s response efforts are fast, yet they are always in direct response to specific requests from local partners and are coordinated with other international organizations and governmental authorities to ensure the most efficient use of resources.

Direct Relief is responding to those in need, focusing relief efforts on the health facilities that serve people who rely on the healthcare safety net for essential services.

Direct Relief is mobilizing aid for communities in Hurricane Florence's path, helping ensure that essential health services continue uninterrupted.
