Immediate Relief Team

Disaster Leadership:
Bringing Calm to Chaos

Link With Partners

We connect with local leaders, emergency managers, churches, VOADs, and community partners to understand what is happening on the ground and where help is truly needed.

Assess Community Needs

We identify impacted areas, assess damage, and understand the needs of survivors. We look beyond the obvious damage to help prioritize vulnerable families, isolated communities, and urgent unmet needs.

Coordinate Aid and Donations

We bring order to the flow of aid by identifying real needs, coordinating supplies, connecting donors with practical opportunities, and helping resources reach the right people at the right time.

Manage and Empower Volunteers

We receive, orient, equip, and organize volunteers so they can serve safely, confidently, and where their work will make the greatest difference. There’s no sitting around with our teams…!

Force Multipliers

Join a team that multiplies impact.

We believe communities recover faster when we work together to steward volunteer time, money, and resources as efficiently as possible. Our Immediate Relief and Recovery Operations Teams pride themselves on being “force multipliers”.

Force multipliers take a limited amount of resources (volunteer time, money, and materials) and “multiply” their effectiveness. During Hurricane Ian, CRR raised $42k dollars and our teams of staff and volunteers turned it into $1.2 million of work for over 150 homeowners. As an immediate relief team member, you’ll be on the front lines of a force that multiplies impact for good.

Team Member Stories

Just a year after my IRT training, Tropical Storm Debbie hit our area and my church lost power and was flooded. Because of the training I received with Crisis Relief and Recovery, my church asked me to serve as the point person for relief and clean up efforts. I felt confident to damage assess, create a plan, and mobilize and coordinate volunteers due to the training I received with CRR.

Greg Nittany Bible Church

I owned an engineering firm and was a professor for over 35 years. 

Jeff Wendle Retired Business Owner, Entrepreneurship Professor

They pushed us hard during the training but I actually learned how CAPABLE I can be and that I do have what it takes to give back to my community.
