=== The critical role of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Cross Societies (IFRC) ===
The [[International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies|IFRC]] were critical in disaster response efforts working with local stakeholders.<ref name=":10">Information Bulletin: Fiji Floods (IFRC) 17th February 2012</ref> Their action was multipronged covering risk assessments, damage assessment, ensuring essentials supplies (food and water) as well as hands on medical support for monitoring injuries. Given the propensity to natural disaster in the region, the Red Cross already had prepositioned emergency supplies but had to work around practical challenges to access these and get them to the right place. Throughout the disaster period the IFRC received dynamic updates from the NDMO.
