 Disaster Relief Projects

Mission Statement

All Districts should have an Disaster Relief Plan so that Rotarians can provide relevant aid and assistance to the victims of a disaster whether it occurs in their own, or another, District.

Action Plan

• Clubs and Districts should liaise with the existing Disaster Relief Agencies is setting up their Club or District Disaster Relief Plans

• Clubs and Districts should liaise with local authorities if the local authorities already have Disaster Relief Plans

• The Plan should contain information on collection, transportation and storage facilities available in the District

• The Plan should contain names of experts and volunteers who can help

• The need for, and type of, support varies from disaster to disaster

• Where possible clubs should provide ShelterBoxesr or Aquaboxes or similar kits

• Disaster Notices will still be sent out from Evanston where appropriate, but this takes time

• Districts and clubs have to help each other (Note - Not every club or District will want to, or be able to, help in every situation)

• Contact needs to be from person to person, or District to District, and should not wait for instructions from R.I.

• Rotarians should coordinators or help to coordinate the help from their communities (Finance and relief supplies are not available through the Task Force or through R.I.).
