Safety is the beginning of recovery.

EMERGE supports refugees, displaced families, and communities affected by conflict and acute crisis with urgent assistance, protection-sensitive contact, psychosocial first response, and referral to longer-term support where available.

In crisis, families can lose safety, income, housing, services, documents, community protection, and trusted support within days. Children, women and girls, persons with disabilities, older people, refugees, and displaced families may face heightened risks of exploitation, violence, family separation, harmful coping, and distress. Emergency aid matters most when it protects dignity, reduces risk, and connects people to the next safe step.
