El Salvador is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, from devastating earthquakes to powerful hurricanes and tropical storms. Over the past 40 years, SAHF has been at the forefront of emergency response, ensuring that life-saving aid reaches those in need when disaster strikes.
In times of crisis, SAHF activates its Emergency Relief Program, working alongside FUSAL to deliver essential supplies, including food, medicine, and hygiene kits, to affected communities. Our support has been crucial during some of the country’s most severe emergencies, such as the 1986 San Salvador earthquake, Hurricanes Mitch (1998) and Stan (2005), Tropical Storm Agatha (2010), and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic.
When disaster hits, SAHF stands ready to respond—because in moments of uncertainty, immediate action can save lives and help communities rebuild faster.
