International organisations for aid and disaster relief

Natural disasters have shown humanity in the past and continue to prove the devastating strength of the Earth itself. However, in order to relieve their effects, numerous organisations which cooperate on local, national, and international levels have been appointed. The aim of the article is to outline contemporary international organisations for aid and disaster. Starting with the base structure characteristics, this article will reveal the core mission of international organisations for aid. The analysis will be supported with examples of international cooperation and specific achievements of the organisations including the perspective of the past 8 years. In the conclusions, the author argues that educational and informative actions are necessary to enhance cooperation among different organisations and their stakeholders.
