Jehovah's Witnesses' own website, giving a partial, dated account of the organization's disaster relief efforts. Its strength is that it names specific relief activities and dates. Its limit is that it is a self-published, partial account rather than an independently audited count of the organization's total relief work, so a claim needing a comprehensive figure should be checked against outside reporting.

Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: the organization's own website, giving a partial, dated account of its own relief effort rather than an independently audited count. NotesJehovah's Witnesses' own website, read directly, describing relief work carried out over a twelve month period ending in mid-2012 as a partial account of the organization's disaster relief activity: following floods, landslides and mudslides in Brazil that killed hundreds of people, Jehovah's Witnesses dispatched to the affected region 42 tons of nonperishable food, 20,000 bottles of water, 10 tons of clothing and 5 tons of cleaning supplies, along with medicine and other items. Classed own-published-statistics: the organization's own dated account of its own relief effort.
