This is by no means a complete list of the organizations that are involved in reporting about natural disasters, on in aiding relief, rescue and rebuilding. Instead, here are some sample organizations. Please visit these to see links to additional resources and organizations.

News and up-to-date Information

  • United Nations News Centre3
