About This Project

Summary

The Purple Vest Mission Global (‘PVMG’) is a pioneering initiative dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of people with disabilities, the elderly, and their families during emergencies. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by these vulnerable groups, the mission offers a comprehensive, globally recognized emergency evacuation methodology. This plan focuses on the efficient evacuation, triage, resettlement, and provision of humanitarian aid. We strive to #LeaveNoOneBehind.
