Workshop: Building Resilient Mutual Aid Networks
This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to organize and scale an effective, decentralized disaster response.
Based on real-world experience from the Kentucky and Hurricane Helene floods, this workshop will break down the logistical framework behind a massive, non-hierarchical mutual aid operation. We'll share the lessons learned from mobilizing thousands of pounds of supplies and a network of volunteers in a matter of days.
What You'll Learn
Rapid Mobilization: How to quickly scale your efforts as volunteers and resources pour in, from starting with a small group to managing an entire semi-truck of supplies.
Decentralized Logistics: We'll cover the use of supply hubs for efficient distribution and how to coordinate a fleet of drivers without a top-down hierarchy.
Real-Time Needs Assessment: Learn how to use a grassroots information network to identify a community's specific needs and tailor your aid to what's truly needed.
On-the-Ground Safety: Discover practical tools and protocols developed to ensure the safety of drivers and volunteers operating in crisis conditions.
Reaching the Overlooked: A guide to identifying and providing support to communities that are not receiving assistance from official channels.
Join us to learn how to build a flexible and powerful mutual aid network that can respond effectively when it matters most.
This workshop is free we are even catering it:)
