Naturkatastrofer är fenomen som ofta slår plötsligt och oväntat mot befolkningar runt om i världen, varpå stora resurser måste mobiliseras på kortast möjliga tid. När en massiv naturkatastrof inträffar tar en omfattande process sin början inom världens största humanitära organisation, Röda Korset, vilken granskas här. I takt med att naturkatastroferna i världen ökar sätts även större kvantiteter militära tillgångar in för att bistå vid arbetet. Dessa har på senare år utsatts för alltmer kritik riktad mot samarbetssvårigheterna gentemot de rent humanitära aktörerna på plats. Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på hur biståndsorganisationer, med det statuerade exemplet Röda Korset, mobiliserar humanitära biståndsprojekt vid en naturkatastrofsituation.
