I met the team at Recovers.org quite a few years ago while working for the Esri Disaster Response Program and have been impressed with this platform to enable communities to support themselves. They are also an Esri Emerging Business Partner and understand the value of spatial to support community recovery / regeneration.
- For those of you familiar with the Student Volunteer Army - this is a similar concept. It allows community members to help each other and for governments to form trusted local organisations.
- Co-founders Caitria and Morgan created a functional infrastructure for recovery after an EF3 tornado in their hometown of Monson, MA. Recovers.org is the idealization of the infrastructure they built: clean, easy-to-use recovery software framework that can be deployed before a disaster to prepare communities.
- Please forward to your welfare and community managers and discuss how this could be used to support preparedness at a local level. You can create a community in less than 10 minutes: Recovers-Communities
