Provide Relief

Immediate Relief When Disaster Strikes

We send focused teams for 1- to 2-week deployments to lead relief efforts in the days and weeks following disaster

HOW WE WORK

By being a “Force Multiplier” and leveraging the compassion that exists right after an event, we can reduce recovery times for communities by weeks, months or even years.

Advanced RECON Teams

Establish Area of Operations & Begin Damage Assessment

Setup Operations Center

We clearly communicate, organize, and prioritize the needs of the community so that other organizations and volunteers can respond. We work with national partners, local and regional governments, and anyone who wishes to contribute to the response.

Volunteer Management

We lead and oversee the relief efforts to ensure that order and hope is restored. We train and deploy local volunteers, mobilize regional resources and networks to bring in work teams, and activate national partners to bring in as much resources–tangible and volunteer work–as necessary to help a community immediately after the disaster.

Transition Plans

Our next task is looking at a long-term recovery plan, which could mean setting up a community LTRG (long term recovery group) or bringing in CRR Recovery Operations Teams to establish a base and coordinate rebuilding and restoration efforts.
