The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism has established an Emergency Coordination Unit to manage relief efforts for Sri Lankan nationals affected by the recent floods, officials said.
The unit will serve as a central hub for coordinating donations from Sri Lanka Missions abroad, foreign diplomatic agencies in the country, and other stakeholders.
Authorities said all contributions will be directed toward flood-affected communities, ensuring transparency and accountability in the distribution process.
In addition to managing donations, the Emergency Coordination Unit will act as a focal point for Sri Lankan nationals overseas seeking to connect with relatives in flood-hit areas.
It will also facilitate the routing of international assistance to ensure aid reaches those in need efficiently.
The initiative is part of the government’s commitment to providing timely assistance and maintaining effective communication during this critical period.
The unit is working closely with the President’s Office, Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Defence, and other relevant agencies to coordinate a comprehensive disaster response.
