Intended Audience

This series is designed for Georgia domestic violence program staff involved in organizational preparedness, operations, survivor services, or emergency decision-making. Programs are encouraged to identify a small disaster response team and, when possible, have those staff attend all three webinars. Teams may include leadership, shelter or program operations, survivor services, finance, communications, facilities, or other staff who may play a role during a disaster. Attending as a team can help programs begin clarifying responsibilities, identifying gaps, and strengthening their disaster response plans and systems.
