emergency assistance
Urgent aid services
Emergency assistance is help provided in urgent situations—natural disasters, accidents, medical crises, or sudden hardship.
The term covers both official programs (government relief, humanitarian aid) and informal support: She applied for emergency assistance after the flood.
It implies immediate need and temporary intervention, bridging the gap until normal circumstances resume.
