The United States provides little assistance to developing countries to mitigate natural disasters. To illustrate this, let's consider the Overseas Disaster Prevention Bureau (OFDA), an office of the US International Development Agency that provides humanitarian aid other than food to respond to international crises and disasters. Within OFTA, the prevention, mitigation, preparation and planning department (PMPPD) oversees projects designed to prevent or mitigate the impact of disasters on foreigners and economic infrastructure, while the disaster response division handles response measures I have a responsibility to deal with it. OFDA spent $ 155.4 million in 1997, 11% of which was PMPPD. The OFDA program is usually effective and other federal agencies implemented several related program activities, but a relatively small amount of OFA aid reflects the relatively limited international participation of the US to the international decade There.
