Learn about CRS’s Work in Indonesia

Increasing Disasters, Increasing Resilience -Located in Southeast Asia between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Indonesia has beautiful beaches, diverse cultures and the world’s fourth largest population.

Climate-related disasters such as cyclones are also becoming more frequent and destructive. Find out how—with the support of Catholic Relief Services and generous communities like yours—Evita and her disaster preparedness group are working to keep their community safe. They created a system to warn people to evacuate and identified evacuation routes, assembly points, and resources they can use during a crisis.
