| Hintergrund |
There are two prominent and related trends in the use of the DREF: firstly, the increase as a grant facility, and secondly, the increased use of the DREF for small- and medium-scale disasters, particularly floods and epidemics. |
| Ziele |
SDC suggests supporting the DREF in order to contribute to the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement emergency fund, as well as to ensure that National Societies are provided with the necessary funds to ensure preparedness and response to natural disasters. |
| Zielgruppen |
People affected by natural disasters. |
| Mittelfristige Wirkungen |
Allocations may be made as start-up loans in the case of large-scale disasters, grants to meet the costs of responding to small-scale emergency relief operations, or for making preparations in the case of imminent disaster. All requests for DREF allocations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Money can be authorized and released within 24 hours. |
