Disaster Response

NMBT disaster response volunteers in the field

Natural disasters in India, many of them linked to the changing climate, cause massive losses of life and property — and nothing in life takes people by surprise quite like a disaster. As global warming increases, NMBT considers it a prime responsibility to reach out and offer immediate support wherever it’s needed most. With a clear focus on reaching people from economically vulnerable backgrounds, NMBT follows a clear strategy for disaster response — directly, and together with like-minded partners — so that support reaches where it’s required the most.
