Emilia and Tuscany flood emergency

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CONTEXT

ABF supported the populations affected by the floods in Emilia-Romagna in May and Tuscany in November, respectively. In particular, in both emergencies ABF made itself immediately available to use volunteers and employees to provide basic necessities purchased or received by donation in kind.

In the case of the flooding in Tuscany, the ABF team intervened to clean up the schools in the municipality of Campi Bisenzio, intervened to restart the activities of the Andersen kindergarten in a few days, donating the supplies (desks, chairs, canteen tables) that had become unusable.

IMPACTS ON THE COMMUNITIES

Providing basic necessities is the first form of aid for people experiencing an emergency condition, with the need to temporarily leave their homes and live in community settings.

Generate aid chains that can support populations in need, particularly in the most remote areas far from population centres.

Enable schools to resume normal educational activities as soon as possible.
