| Take our backpack challenge to see if you would know what to do ▸ |
As a Mercy Corps supporter, you hear from us about the work we do around the world. You know how quickly we must assess and deploy during a crisis. And you’ve read the profiles of our emergency responders — the teams who rush to a crisis zone and are trained to make quick decisions about what people need the most. So, have you ever wondered if you would be able to use your decision-making skills to help people during a catastrophe? 
If you’ve ever thought about what it would be like to be on the ground as an emergency responder, you can test your instincts with our interactive simulation. You can help Karla plan the response in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, or Manenji in DR Congo as he deploys a team to help families during a deadly Ebola outbreak. See whether you know what to pack in your backpack as you prepare to help people in these moments of crisis. When our teams arrive in an area that’s been affected by a disaster, their backpacks are full of key items to help community members in need, items like water filters, solar lanterns and emergency cash vouchers. Supplies like these help prevent the spread of disease in communities, light up the darkness to help people travel safely at night, and help families get food to eat and the tools they need to rebuild their homes. See what it takes to be a humanitarian responder on the front lines of crisis. Every time our crisis teams respond to an emergency around the world, supporters like you are part of what helps us to do our lifesaving work. Thank you for being there with us to help people in their greatest moments of need. In gratitude, 
Adrienne Karecki, Mercy Corps Chief Development and Marketing Officer |
