The disaster doesn't end when the storm passes—or when the cameras leave.

Immediate response may last days or weeks, but recovery can continue for months or even years. Survivors may still be navigating housing, rebuilding, financial assistance, disaster case management, and other unmet needs long after a disaster leaves the headlines.

Across the VOAD Movement, organizations remain committed to communities throughout that journey. National VOAD's Long Term Recovery Committee helps strengthen this work by bringing members together to share expertise, identify best practices, and support effective community-led recovery.

Communities can also turn to the National VOAD Resource Center, which includes tools and guidance to help establish and operate Long Term Recovery Groups (LTRGs) and support communities throughout the recovery process.

Being Ready to Respond. Ready to Recover. means showing up when disaster strikes—and making sure communities have the relationships, knowledge, and resources they need for the long road ahead.
