When disaster strikes in the form of natural calamities such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, drought etc or in the form of pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, NIPA and now Covid -19, the society pitches in with all sorts of support to save the victims. At such times, Government may not have all the resources and the required reach beyond the emergency relief whereas the ground level community will have the resources to seek and provide help. NGOs play a huge role in supplementing the Government initiatives.
