| Galveston, Tex., just days following Hurricane Ike. |
The disaster doesn't go away once attention turns
elsewhere. In fact, for many the struggle to recover from a disaster can take months, even years. That's
why CWS ardently promotes the long-term recovery effort in communities gripped by disaster. CWS disaster response partners, such as denominational and secular relief agencies, bring together
faith-based and secular groups to work together following a disaster. Community long-term recovery groups work to identify
cases of need following a disaster, and help each client recover. Emergency
Response Specialists represent CWS in the field, by providing training to long-term recovery groups, and project development
support. CWS long-term recovery training can focus on: - Disaster
preparedness
- Long-term recovery administration
- Case management
- Post-disaster
pastoral care
- ...and more!
Our initial,
most basic disaster recovery training is the one-day seminar, Recovery Tools & Training. Read more...
CWS also supports long-term recovery groups with emergency
support grants and project development assistance. Read more...
