Disaster relief operations are organized efforts to provide immediate assistance to communities affected by natural or man-made disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods. These operations aim to meet basic needs, including food, water, shelter, and medical care, while also helping to restore essential services and infrastructure. Relief efforts often involve various organizations, including government agencies, non-profits, and international groups like the Red Cross. Teams of volunteers and professionals work together to assess damage, distribute supplies, and support recovery efforts, ensuring that affected individuals receive the help they need as quickly as possible.
