The Canadian Red Cross responded immediately after the earthquake, with support like a mobile field hospital, Canadian aid workers on the ground, providing medical and first aid care, psychosocial support, and helping with basic needs like shelter, water and sanitation. Now, the work continues with the focus shifting to longer-term programs that will help rebuild a strong and resilient community.

Responding to the earthquake, both in the immediate days and the years that have followed is possible thanks to the support of Canadians who generously donated, and the Government of Canada.
