Americas Relief Team (ART) is an initiative of OAA dedicated to helping victims of disasters in the Americas and supporting preparedness and resiliency to strengthen vulnerable communities. ART works with various partners in the public and private sectors, including affected governments, U.S. Southern Command, airports, and sea cargo carriers, to provide logistics assistance and mobilize humanitarian aid to provide relief and help rebuild lives. ART also carries out educational programs to help build self-sufficiency and equip partners and at-risk populations to respond effectively to crises.
