Department of Defense Support to Foreign Disaster Relief - Handbook for Responding Forces - 30 June 2021
This handbook serves as a quick reference guide for U.S. military members participating in a Foreign Disaster Relief (FDR) mission in permissive environments, in a country that still has a functioning government. It is not intended for use in complex situations; however, some information may have utility for DoD support in such instances. Additionally, this handbook will be useful for DoD support to international chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear response (ICBRN-R), also referred to as technological disasters.

USINDOPACOM Foreign Disaster Response in the Indo-Asia-Pacific April 1991 – January 2024 - Released: April 2024
With the significant number of natural disasters affecting the region, the United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) was called upon to support at least 44 foreign disaster responses in the Indo-Pacific from April 1991 to the end of January 2024. These events range from small-scale responses, where sometimes U.S. military forces are the only foreign military assisting the affected nation, to supporting large-scale operations for major disasters alongside many other regional militaries and civilian responders. This number does not reflect every significant disaster that has impacted the Indo-Pacific. More often than not, civilian and military responders in the affected state can respond to disasters on their own without international help. Thus, it is less common for regional militaries, such as the U.S. military, to be called upon to support relief efforts.
