PA-DHS: G108: COMMUNITY MASS CARE AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
Mass Care and Emergency Assistance (MC/EA) has evolved beyond the traditional sheltering, distribution of emergency supplies, and feeding, and now includes access and functional needs support, reunification services, evacuation support, and support to household pets and service animals. These activities are critical in the aftermath of a disaster. By making communities resilient and capable of preparing for and managing Mass Care and Emergency Assistance, the ability of a whole community to respond to and recover from a disaster will be enhanced.
The Community Mass Care and Emergency Assistance course is designed to provide training for local communities to prepare for and manage this function effectively. The goal is to prepare community agencies, organizations, and businesses to work together to provide Mass Care and Emergency Assistance services to those affected by disaster. Participants will use this information to build community emergency Action Items and to identify gaps in the community’s program. This course is intended for community agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations, and private sector organizations that will collaborate to provide Mass Care and Emergency Assistance.
