The major objective of intervention is to mitigate the effect of any incident by providing immediate and timely succour to persons affected by such an event. It may involve providing IDP camps with essential public health and safety services, food, clothing, medicaments, e.t.c.
Relief Intervention Strategies used in such situations entails conducting situation (damage and needs) assessment by NEMA officials. NEMA at this point will network with other stakeholders to undertake assessment and hitch free distribution of humanitarian relief materials.

  1. This agency is performing wonderfully well in response to recent unwholesome developments in the country. Be that as it may, it should be decentralized to state level for quicker response and mitigation. Early warning calls for early response. This will help to nip in the bud latent calamities.
    I wish to work with this agency.
