The DHRC is a group of over 850 local, state, and national organizations working in disaster recovery and housing to ensure that all disaster survivors – including those with the lowest incomes – receive the assistance they need to fully recover. The DHRC holds weekly calls to hear updates from members on disaster recovery efforts from around the country, share best practices, and stay up to date on the latest federal changes to the disaster recovery response framework. The DHRC is a nationally recognized leader in federal recovery reform efforts, and working group conversations help identify and guide federal policy reform needed to improve FEMA’s disaster homelessness and housing recovery efforts.
Participate in the DHRC by joining two working groups:
• Disaster Recovery Working Group – Every Wednesday at 2 pm ET – This working group focuses on disaster recovery efforts around the nation, shares best practices and lessons learned, and stays updated on the latest federal changes to the disaster recovery response framework.
