Respond & Rebuild

Respond & Rebuild Respond & Rebuild is a disaster response collective that came together to meet the most acute needs identified by the Rockaway Community after Sandy.

Who we are and What we do:

We combine our experience as relief workers, skills in the construction trades, and relationships in communities to coordinate immediate and effective response to disaster. We also aid in the long term rebuilding process by identifying families and individuals who are falling through the cracks of the disaster relief system and work alongside like-minded disaster relief

activists toward getting them home safely. Currently we are working with Occupy Sandy to help develop solutions to unmet needs. Why this is urgent:

The scope of the damage inflicted by Hurricane Sandy is massive. Recovery and rebuilding will last for years to come. In the first days after the storm, our greatest concern was mold, which presents a serious public health concern and can destroy homes. In total, we've performed demolition, remediated mold, and/or helped to rebuild more than 430 homes, and we continue to help direct resources to those who need it most when possible, though we are no longer operating volunteer crews.
