The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.

Pew has stepped forward in the aftermath of natural disasters many other times. We have assisted relief efforts in Venezuela following rain-induced flooding and mudslides that claimed an estimated 30,000 lives and left some 400,000 people homeless; aided victims of Hurricane Floyd in the Greater Delaware Valley and North Carolina; supported those left injured or homeless by a massive earthquake in El Salvador; and provided contributions to many other such efforts.
