Once a community has been hit by crisis there is a need that they receive aid in terms of food shelter and other life-sustaining materials from concerned bodies in a harmonious way. For example, issues to do with verification of the population in need so that the administration giving out aid can plan on what to give and what to prioritize depending on the characteristics of the community that has to be given aid.
