Improving the effectiveness of cross-border response to disasters and other emergencies in North America

ا)‌ أهداف التعهد

Disasters in the United States, Canada and Mexico are more frequent and severe than before, and disaster response often requires more resources than are available in any one country.  As risks continue to rise, there will be an increased strain on disaster response systems built around national capacities.  To better serve those in need in response to shifting vulnerabilities, it is critical to break down barriers to cross-border humanitarian assistance.  The American Red Cross, Canadian Red Cross and Mexican Red Cross are committed to leveraging their auxiliary and operational roles to improve the effectiveness of cross-border response to disasters in North America.

  • Support, at the operational and policy levels, the expedited mobilization of humanitarian teams, their equipment and supplies while respecting applicable national legal and policy frameworks and global standards of accountability to affected populations
