Half of the top 20 countries vulnerable to high
human and economic losses due to natural
disasters are in Latin America and the
Caribbean. PADF is prepared to
respond.
When a disaster or humanitarian
crisis happens, PADF mobilizes immediate relief
funds from individuals, corporate partners,
non-profit organizations and multinational
donors.
During the relief and
reconstruction phases, PADF works closely with
municipal leaders, community organizations, the
private sector and civil defense agencies to
identify the highest priorities and deliver
programs and resources with the greatest
positive impact.
PADF also trains
communities, businesses and the public sector
to be better prepared and protected for the
next major natural disasters. For every $1
spent on mitigation, society saves $4 on
reconstruction.
PADF is the
nongovernmental disaster relief arm of the
Organization of American States.
