Member Agencies
During humanitarian emergencies, member agencies speak to Canadians with one voice, provide direct access to disaster and response information, coordinate spokespersons and share resources, including a single phone centre, website and communications team. When disaster strikes, each member agency brings its specific expertise to implementing humanitarian programs. Read more about each of our agencies below.
