Disaster relief funds are financial resources set aside to assist communities affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods. These funds are often provided by government agencies, non-profit organizations, and charitable foundations to help with immediate needs like food, shelter, and medical care. The goal of disaster relief funds is to support recovery efforts and rebuild affected areas. They can also be used for long-term recovery projects, such as restoring infrastructure and providing mental health services. Organizations like the American Red Cross and FEMA play key roles in managing and distributing these funds effectively.
