What is Disaster Recovery?
Disaster Recovery is an effective and coordinated response by trained and accredited volunteers to natural and man-made disasters such as floods, fires, storms and major accidents. Anglicare is a Community Partner under the NSW State Emergency Management Plan and the ACT Community Recovery Sub-Plan and may be activated by the State or Territory Government to support in times of an emergency.
What Do DR Volunteers Do?
Disaster Recovery volunteers support disaster-affected persons in Evacuation and Recovery Centres and through outreach doorknocking to affected communities. Assistance in Evacuation Centres may include the provision of basic care and comfort, practical support and information sharing, referrals to other services and distribution of essential clothing and toiletry items if required. Anglicare Disaster Recovery volunteers may also be called to assist our community partners in their provision of support services.
