Wildfires response: providing aid at scale
In February 2024 Chile experienced the worst wildfires of the century, with over 10K hectares burnt, 6K houses destroyed and more than 130 lives lost.
Five days after the wildfires started, ERT arrived to the field. With the help of our Chilean channel partner, Seidor, we created digital tools for 7 aid organizations to collect data and needs, manage aid distributions, register volunteers, and much more.
Our partners on the ground were able to reach >100K people using the monday.com platform with meals and aid distributions, support >500 small business owners, manage donations, coordinate volunteers and oversee their programs.
The ERT attended the UNDRR Regional Platform in Uruguay. Global disaster response practitioners discussed the importance and impact of digital transformation of the aid sector, especially in the pivotal work of risk reduction and preparedness.
In 2023, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, causing severe impact with over 800,000 people affected and thousands dead.
IsraAID, a leading INGO in the disaster response space provided extensive support to affected populations following the humanitarian crises in Ukraine.
