Summary, etc. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, and volcanic eruptions can quickly overwhelm the resources of local civil forces. Large scale loss of life, injuries, displacement, and the destruction of infrastructure can result in human suffering on a massive scale. Military forces have the skills, personnel, equipment, and material to move quickly to offer assistance. But sometimes the scale of the disasters can be too great even for national armed forces to respond effectively; at that point international assistance is required. This article looks at regional disaster response capabilities, and why calling in foreign military assistance can be such a tricky decision.
