Advances in science have led to the ability to predict natural disasters with greater efficiency. This includes identifying early signs of potential natural disasters and providing an advanced warning to allow individuals to evacuate the area.
However, even with advanced warning, evacuation is difficult for many, particularly those living in poor communities or in areas situations where the evacuation involves hundreds of thousands of people. And, despite the early warning systems, natural disasters can occur with a limited warning, resulting in significant loss of life, injuries, and devastation.
Being Prepared
One of the best ways to be prepared for these natural disasters that will happen at some time is to have a disaster relief fund available. Charitable trusts allow people to contribute to these funds at any time, ensuring that if and when a disaster occurs, there is money available to provide the required resources, services, and supplies.
Contributing to a public or private disaster relief fund is simple. These organizations allow online donations for those in the country and provide ways for people outside of India to make contributions that are safe and secure. Contributions can be small or large or a one-time or regular contribution to the fund.
Having a disaster relief fund allows the charitable trust to spring into action when a natural disaster happens. This provides a much faster response time than having to start taking donations after the disaster occurs. Contributing to a disaster fund is a tax exemption, and it offers a way to give back to those in need.
