Many countries, international organisations and NGOs have standby capacity (e.g. INSARAG USAR Teams, Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs)) that can be deployed on short notice to assist in disasters in affected countries. They may coordinate their assistance bilaterally with the affected country or through a regional organisation, such as the European Union or the Association of South East Asian Nations.

许多国家、国际组织和非政府组织拥有备用资源（如 INSARAG USAR 队伍，紧急医疗队（EMT）），可在短时间内部署和援助受灾国。他们与受灾国达成双边协议或者通过区域组织，如欧盟或者东盟等，以协调援助工作。
