When a disaster or other form of emergency hits a country, World Vision’s first response is to judge its severity. This helps us formulate our response.
We’ve developed a detailed and comprehensive methodology to do just that.
Our response will be based on the scale and nature of the emergency and the number of people affected. It will focus on assisting the most vulnerable, including children, women and the elderly, to ensure people's basic needs are met and that human rights are protected.
