Disaster Response Funds

On April 29, a hydroelectric plant in Rio Grande do Sul-Brazil collapsed due to heavy rains, causing the loss of 100 lives and leaving 128 people missing. The crisis has affected 401 municipalities and displaced at least 160,000 people.

Myriad USA launched its Gaza Humanitarian Fund to pool donations for three trusted partners delivering critical aid to displaced individuals in Gaza.

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military is creating one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world, with millions of people in need of food, shelter, and emergency assistance.

A curated network of experienced, local nonprofits

DisasterLink is a network of 46 trusted partners in 17 countries at high risk or vulnerability for natural disasters. Each pre-positioned member is a trusted member of their community and highly invested in the areas they serve, enabling them to activate immediately during a crisis and help communities rebuild and recover in the long term. While the network is currently focused on Asia, we are working on expanding it to other regions.

Successful disaster response also depends on proper preparation. As a warming climate increases the frequency and intensity of disasters, we also know that many are predictable. In addition to event-specific campaigns, Myriad USA supports our DisasterLink network members by raising funds to help communities prepare for disasters. This includes support for activities such as early warning systems, evacuation planning, and capacity building for local responders. Support our DisasterLink Emergency Fund.
