Your donation means Red Cross can be there for people in disasters and crises in the Pacific region. It enables us and our partners to prepare for crises before they happen, provide life-saving assistance, and help people recover safely and with dignity.
Across the Pacific, extreme weather events such as storms and cyclones are becoming increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change. According to the United Nations, an average of 43,000 people in the Asia-Pacific region are killed each year by natural disasters (UNFPA), making it one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world. Pacific island countries are highly impacted by rising sea levels, and disasters like tsunamis earthquakes, tropical cyclones and volcanic eruptions.
Each time a disaster strikes, communities are the first to feel the impacts and the first to respond. With your help, they can better prepare and respond to more needs and save more lives. Your donation powers teams on the ground in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu to train up locals to prepare for and anticipate disasters before they happen, provide life-saving assistance during emergencies, and help people recover safely and with dignity.
By supporting training, providing emergency kits and helping local Red Cross teams mobilise quickly to respond, you are giving communities their best chance of surviving when disasters strike and recovering afterwards. Almost 27.5 million people in the Asia Pacific accessed Red Cross disaster response and early recovery programs through their local National Society from July 2024 - June 2025, enabling greater resilience of communities on the frontlines of disaster.
