disaster fund
Catastrophe relief pool
A disaster fund is money set aside to help people, communities, or organizations recover from catastrophic events—hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or other emergencies.
Governments, charities, and businesses maintain disaster funds to provide rapid relief: The Red Cross disaster fund provided shelter for thousands.
Some individuals keep personal disaster funds as emergency savings.
