disaster relief worker
Emergency aid provider
A disaster relief worker is someone who provides assistance in the aftermath of catastrophic events—earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, or conflicts.
They may distribute food and supplies, provide medical care, help with evacuation, or assist in rebuilding.
The term covers both professional aid workers employed by organizations like the Red Cross and volunteers who respond to emergencies: Disaster relief workers arrived within hours of the earthquake.
