¡@Disaster Preparedness and Relief > Introduction

Since 1994, Disaster Preparedness and Relief has been a major area of work for the Macau Red Cross._ It was introduced to offer financial support to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Red Cross Society of China for their work in relieving disaster-afflicted areas in Mainland China and around the world._ Also, the Macau Red Cross has rallied the Macau community to donate money or material goods to support the disaster-relief efforts.

In recent years, the Macau Red Cross has participated in numerous disaster-relief operations worldwide, including: the 1996 Earthquake in Yunnan Province, China; the 1998 Floods in Central China; the 1999 Earthquake in Taiwan; the 2000 Armed Conflicts in Kosovo; the 2002 Floods in Eastern China; the 2003 Floods along the Wai River; the 2004 Floods in China and the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami; the 2006 Earthquake in Jawa Tengah province, Indonesia; the 2007 Puer Earthquake in Yunnan province, China; the 2008 Snowstorm Disaster in China and the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan province of China.  In 2010, we also responded actively to the disaster-relief operations in the typhoon in Taiwan, the Haiti earthquake, the drought in south-west region and the Qinghai earthquake of China.

Macau Red Cross has successively built 87 Fraternity Schools for 28 provinces and cities in mainland China, provided emergency assistance to affected provinces, and participated in post-disaster reconstruction work in 20 provinces.

Following the principles of the International Red Cross/ Red Crescent Movement to prevent and alleviate human suffering, and in order to better promote the Red Cross¡¦s humanitarian and caring spirit, Macau Red Cross founded a Disaster-Relief Fund in 2001._ This fund has since allowed us to provide immediate response to disasters, while improving our schemes of disaster relief and preparation and post-relief reconstruction.
