Infrastructural Requirements for Temporary Accommodation of Disaster Refugees and the Role of an NGO

Abstract

Frequent natural and humanitarian disasters are a major challenge for societies, their prevention, response and recovery organisations, national and international NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization). In this paper, we define the concept of natural and humanitarian disasters, their
historical and civilisational context, their consequences and their impact on people and their environment. The phenomenon of disaster refugees is not a modern phenomenon, we have seen disaster refugees in every period of history, but today we are consciously dealing with the causes and consequences of natural and humanitarian disasters and are consciously trying to prevent, avert and recover from them. Whatever endangers human life, damages human values and creates vulnerability in society, states work together to prevent and combat it within the framework of national and international treaties. Bodies operated by the states, together with civil society organisations, can provide the necessary infrastructure to accommodate displaced persons and about their supply needs until they can return to their homes.
