The Bureau responds to an average of 75 disasters in more than 70 countries every year, ensuring that aid reaches people affected by natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes, as well as protracted crises, such as drought and conflict.Our experts worldwide and in D.C. help countries and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from humanitarian crises.We also support food insecure refugees fleeing war, violence, or persecution.
