In a joint announcement today, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG), unveiled a groundbreaking partnership aimed at enhancing coordinated disaster response efforts and pre-disaster planning.
This collaboration, building on previous successful joint operations such as the response to the 2021 earthquake in Haiti, marks a significant stride in bolstering the U.S. government’s capacity to deliver crucial life-saving aid to vulnerable populations worldwide.
As the primary federal coordinator for international disaster assistance, USAID remains dedicated to saving lives and alleviating suffering in the face of global crises.
Leveraging the USCG’s unique capabilities, particularly in search and rescue, this strategic partnership is poised to play a pivotal role in fortifying the efficiency and swiftness of humanitarian responses, ensuring timely support for those most in need.
