From hurricanes to flooding, earthquakes to landslides, volcano eruption, brush fires to fire tornado this past couple of years District 5280 Rotary Clubs seen some deadly natural disasters. What can be done to combat these catastrophes in the future? That is the question to our fellow Rotarians.
Rotary members and The Rotary Foundation play a unique role in disaster recovery and rebuilding efforts. Working closely with our partner ShelterBox and other organizations that specialize in disaster relief, Rotary members lead projects to support every phase of a community's recovery.
Rotary supports three phases of relief:
- Immediate response: Our local clubs and partners immediately offer helping hands and supplies.
- Short-term assistance: Our clubs and districts help affected communities wherever we can through funds and materials to re-establish day-to-day operations.
- Long-term rebuilding: Our clubs plan and implement projects that rebuild affected communities.
