relevant government agencies was uneven and was generally accepted,

Such cases, and the study revealed a set of difficulties faced by
charitable teams such as: weak financial resources for charitable
teams, lack of specialists in dealing with climatic conditions, and weak

need to intensify media awareness of climatic conditions and how to
deal with them, the need for an electronic system that brings together
the various parties while working with such cases.
