notes: -> FROM THE SITE: As Hurricane Irene has officially petered out, we are finally get a clearer picture of the aftermath and looking for ways we can lend our help to those in need. All Hands has been in contact with the VOADs (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) and FEMA representatives from the states that have been affected. Our assessment team is en route to New York and Vermont to begin to learn more about the impact Irene left in her wake. We are in regular contact with representatives in New Jersey and are actively monitoring the situation on the ground there. We are in the process of planning the specifics of how we might deploy a response team and launch a full scale project, we will continue to provide updates on a regular basis. Please check back for more information and thank you for your continued interest and support of All Hands Volunteers.

notes: 5-20-20 TENNESSEE: Flood Coordination Project Launch In response to the widespread flooding that occurred three weeks ago, HODR has launched the Tennessee Recovery Coordination Center (TN RCC) located in Antioch, Tennessee. Over the coming weeks we’ll be focused on gathering data on residents’ needs and fostering collaboration among responding voluntary organizations active in the flood clean up efforts. We will be managing a database and referral system for direct service needs in the affected communities throughout the state, with a goal of linking voluntary agencies to those affected. We’re running the RCC in cooperation with Tennessee Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (TN VOAD), Tennessee 2-1-1s , Volunteer Tennessee, Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, and the Region IV FEMA Voluntary Agency Liasons, among other local and national voluntary agencies and faith based organizations. Over the next 2 weeks we’ll also be evaluating the potential for launching a full scale volunteer project somewhere in Tennessee based on unmet needs for additional volunteer support. Check www.HODR.org for more updates over the coming weeks, and follow on Twitter @HODRopsUSA Over the past several years HODR has built a strong reputation in volunteer & workflow management, which has evolved into our Coordinative Services projects. Thanks to the HODR Family for all your support and engagement over the years! -Bill Driscoll Jr. US Operations Director ->
