Urgent Response: Extreme Flooding in central europe

Central Europe is experiencing the worst flooding in years. Heavy flooding is affecting a large region including Poland, Budapest, Romania, Austria, and the Czech Republic, with casualties reported across the region. Some of these areas, including Budapest, is bracing for a flood wave to peak in the coming days. 

Poland has declared a state of emergency and for the areas the water has receded, the damage is expected to reach billions in euros. We are providing pet food for pets rescued from the floods and essential supplies for families and individuals, we are also working with teams on the ground to determine additional aid. 

Greater Good Charities provides assistance to pets, wildlife, and residents affected by floods. Help now.

 

disaster relief & recovery

Greater Good Charities addresses disaster relief in three distinct ways.

  • Preparation: Greater Good Charities prepares for natural disasters by establishing disaster caches in at-risk areas. This enables the rapid availability of supplies within days.
  • Immediate Response: During disasters, Greater Good Charities works with partners worldwide to deliver food and supplies to people and pets, support food banks and animal shelters, and transport shelter pets and wildlife to safety.
  • Ongoing Support: Greater Good Charities provides assistance to individuals and pets, participates in the rebuilding of infrastructure, ensures a continuous supply of supplies, offers grants for specific and unforeseen needs, and stewards bees crucial to agricultural systems.
