The Humanitarian Department supports Islamic Relief’s capacity to respond to anticipated humanitarian crises by coordinating the deployment of emergency personnel to the site of the crisis within 72 hours and by ensuring staff are recruited and retained for emergency programmes.

Islamic Relief Indonesia since was officially registered to work in Indonesia has been responding to many disasters in Indonesia for the last ten years such as Tsunami in Aceh 2004, Padang Earthquake, 2009, Volcanic Eruption in Yogyakarta and the last earthquake 2017 in Pidie Jaya. One of them was the deadliest disaster that ever recorded by history. During emergency response, Islamic Relief Indonesia received international recognition from other aid agencies, the United Nations and the Indonesian government. However after 2010, Islamic Relief operations Indonesia has scaled down its operation while the capacity of government and local organizations have been increased and improved in responding to disaster, this could be proven from many disaster incidences in that local NGOs were in front line to respond disasters together with government. Thus Islamic Relief in the future will focus on raising funds from overseas partners or institutional donors and share humanitarian responsibilities with the local organizations to work together in helping the suffering and vulnerable people affected by tremendous disaster.
Islamic Relief is intending to cluster the area of partnership: Cluster (1) Sumatera, Cluster (2) Java, Cluster (3) Nusa Tenggara and Bali, Cluster (4) Kalimantan Sulawesi and Papua.
