USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance Announces OFDA-L.
OFDA-L is an email-distribution list for reports produced by USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA). These public documents provide information on a select group of major disasters and emergencies occurring outside the United States. The reports provide summary information on the disaster based on reporting from the field and a compilation of sources, and provide a description and financial accounting of how the United States Government is responding to the disaster.
Three different types of reports will be posted:
1) SITUATION REPORTS (sitreps) on long-term, complex emergencies (such as Rwanda, Former Yugoslavia, etc.). Sitreps are updated regularly, usually every eight to ten weeks.
2) INFORMATION BULLETINS on fast-onset, natural disasters are updated bi- weekly, weekly, or daily.
3) FACT SHEETS are shorter documents on disasters and complex emergencies, which eventually may warrant information bulletins or sitreps.
OFDA-L is intended solely for the distribution of information pertaining to the activities of USAIDAs Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance.
