Disasters Emergency Committee

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a coalition of major UK charities that come together to coordinate and deliver emergency relief efforts during major crises like natural disasters, conflicts, and humanitarian emergencies. When a disaster strikes, DEC launches a public appeal to gather funds quickly, ensuring aid reaches affected populations efficiently. By pooling resources and expertise, DEC enhances the impact of rescue, relief, and recovery efforts, helping people in urgent need regain safety, health, and dignity during difficult times.
