Mission Statement

Our mission at Global Emergency Relief, Recovery & Reconstruction (GER3) is to assist those affected by natural disasters and conflicts globally.

We aim to help them build back better following disasters through integrated relief, recovery, and reconstruction services.

The GER3 team begins disaster reconstruction efforts by touring a crisis affected area.

Overview

GER3 was founded in 2016 to address several weaknesses inherent in humanitarian responses.

Our relief efforts emphasize disaster debris management, community engagement, and bridging the gap between emergency aid and long-term recovery.

When crises or natural disasters strike, our team rapidly springs into action. We place a particular focus on helping affected homes, schools, and health facilities.

Our core focus areas:

Debris Management—Disaster debris removal must occur before people can return and begin rebuilding. Debris also frequently limits the ability of humanitarian actors to access affected individuals.

GER3 applies a sustainable and environmentally focused approach to emergency debris removal, creating new livelihood opportunities and rebuilding communities.

Supporting Vulnerable Communities—Disasters often leave specific vulnerable communities behind. We design our programs to help the most at-risk communities and individuals.

Integrating Reconstruction—Many communities do not see the reconstruction process start for months or even years after immediate relief efforts.

GER3 integrates rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts at an early stage to allow for a faster and more streamlined recovery process.

We're committed to ensuring all our efforts are sustainable, culturally appropriate, and community-led.

The GER3 team plans debris management after a flood.
 

Making an Impact: Our Focus Areas

Our relief and recovery projects focus on providing immediate aid, emergency housing, and long-term support to disaster-affected areas. We remain dedicated to recovery efforts long after the headlines fade, helping rebuild safer, stronger communities. Our recent work in Ukraine and Saint Vincent demonstrates this commitment to providing rapid and ongoing relief.

Ukraine Conflict

Our Kyiv-based team prioritizes its relief efforts on the most vulnerable Ukrainian individuals and communities. Their integrated approach includes NFI provisioning, debris management, winterization, and rapid home and school rehabilitation.

St. Vincent Volcano

When La Soufrière volcano erupted in 2021, we brought urgent relief to St. Vincent Island. Our team cleared ash, rehabilitated damaged homes, and provided skills training to affected communities.
