Details: CWS Webinar “The Future of Long-Term Recovery Groups” Jan. 13


January 7, 2015

Even while in the throes of helping survivors of a hurricane, flood or other disaster, it is never too early for a local long-term recovery group to start thinking about what it will do after it has closed its last case.

Among other things, a little foresight can make the final evaluation easier to conduct and “must-keep” information easier to assemble.

Church World Service – with expertise in the entire disaster cycle – will offer guidance in a webinar, titled “The Future of Long-Term Recovery Groups,” on Jan. 13, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern).

Points will include:

  • Planning and conducting a final evaluation of the group’s work.
  • Maintaining and securing appropriate materials.
  • Closing cases and/or transferring/referring to other agencies.
  • Completing a financial audit and inventory of tools and equipment.
  • Compiling and distributing a final report to key audiences.

The webinar also will discuss options for the group beyond the current disaster. These include maintaining the long-term recovery group for a future disaster, transitioning to a mitigation organization, transitioning to a local Voluntary or Community Organization Active in Disaster (VOAD or COAD) to do disaster preparation and training, or saying “mission accomplished and totally closing the organization.
