CFT's Relief and Recovery Fund

The sector-specific areas of protection, advocacy and transparency, and provision of psychosocial support are critical to the success of any recovery strategy, but they are often significantly underfunded. Donations that encourage close collaboration among local and federal governments and community-based organizations are especially effective in rebuilding physical structures and/or social fabric. Sustained support in the wake of a major event is vital. Also, advance preparation can help mitigate loss in future events. For disaster preparedness in particular, this includes support for alert and communication systems, disaster-proof construction, agricultural planning, and operational contingency planning.
