Sri Lanka Red Cross Society Concludes DREF Operation for 2024 Inter-Monsoon Floods with Lessons Learned Workshop

Posted on Wednesday, February 26th, 2025

The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society, in collaboration with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), successfully launched and completed a Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) operation to support communities affected by the 2024 inter-monsoon floods in Gampaha, Colombo, and Puttalam districts.

To mark the conclusion of this operation, a Lessons Learned Workshop was held, bringing together teams for in-depth discussions on gaps, best practices, and strategic improvements.

This reflective session not only highlighted key insights to enhance future disaster preparedness and response but also served as a platform to appreciate the invaluable efforts of our volunteers and staff.
