One thing to always keep in mind is that the Red Crescent society of the Maldives is not made just for Maldivians. The Maldivian Red Crescent (MRC) has to help or reach out to all peoples in the Maldives. And that includes the over 70,000 foreign workers in the country.

Calling it the “Maldivian” RC makes it seem like it’s limited to Maldivians. Rather, it should be the Maldives Red Crescent, as it would not differentiate between peoples due to nationality, sex, creed or social standing.

This is especially relevant when taking into account how racist most Maldivians are and how prejudiced they are towards foreign laborers.]]></description>

John Bales, Disaster Management Coordinator, International Federation-Maldives Delegation

Until the unexpected onslaught of the tsunami of 26 December 2004, Maldives had little direct experience of major natural disasters. The tsunami cancelled out development gains accrued through years of patient endeavor, highlighting a need for comprehensive risk reduction measures linked to effective disaster preparedness systems.
