The Disasters Emergency Committee is a UK-based non-profit coalition that coordinates rapid humanitarian response during crises by bringing together 15 leading aid charities. Member organizations include Action Against Hunger UK, ActionAid, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International UK, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide, International Rescue Committee UK, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam GB, Plan International UK, Save the Children UK, Tearfund, and World Vision UK. The DEC states it only appeals when the scale and urgency of a disaster necessitate decisive action, when its member agencies can deliver effective and swift assistance, and when public support is likely.
Headquartered in London, England, the DEC operates within the non-profit sector to mobilize resources for humanitarian relief. In late 2024, Michael Jermey was appointed as Chair of the Board of Trustees, reflecting governance changes within the organization.
