Examination of Social Assistance and Social Service Activities of International Organizations for Disasters
Abstract
Disasters often cause huge problems which exceed the capacities of the city and the country in dealing with their results. For this reason, countries may need international support to mitigate the damages of disasters. There are some leading organizations in disaster-response interventions throughout the World. Some of these organizations are directly related to social assistance and service activities for disasters while some others provide services for disasters as a side activity since their main purpose of establishment differs. In this study, international organizations will be involved in disaster-related activities from a global point of view.
