 | | Rebuilding and recovering:
serving with Rotary in the wake of a disaster |
According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, more than 2.9 billion people worldwide have been affected by disasters
since 2000. How can we assist communities immediately following a disaster? What type of support does Rotary
provide to help resurrect devastated regions?
Learn how your club and district can help bring needed resources to
local regions impacted by disaster, assist international communities in need of relief assistance, and organize initiatives for the long-term
sustainable recovery of hard-hit areas by registering for our upcoming webinar. The webinar will highlight how to best leverage Rotary's
resources to assist with disaster relief and recovery initiatives. Expert panelists will discuss working with ShelterBox, Rotary's
project partner, to serve those most in need of assistance immediately following a disaster. A representative from Rotary’s Grants team will
highlight RI resources to help fund recovery initiatives focused on rebuilding areas devastated by disaster. Register today ( confirm local time
here): Webinar panelists include: - Rotarian Alan Monroe – Director of Volunteer Programs for
ShelterBox USA
- Rotarian Mark Dyer – ShelterBox Response Team member
- Ms. Beth Santos – Regional Grants officer for Rotary
International
Spread the word! Invite fellow Rotarians and Rotaractors to attend this important web event to increase Rotary’s
involvement with disaster relief and recovery efforts. All are welcome! |
