flood relief
Help after deluge
Flood relief is assistance provided to communities affected by flooding—emergency supplies, temporary shelter, financial aid, and recovery services.
The term covers both immediate humanitarian response and longer-term rebuilding efforts: The Red Cross coordinated flood relief for the affected region.
Relief organizations often mobilize flood relief after major storms or dam failures.
