Connecting with Communities in Asset-based Disaster Recovery

Connecting with Communities in Asset-based Disaster Recovery

About this Session:

Resilience and recovery for military families depends on the social connection and level of collaboration that exists within the communities they are a part of. Service providers and Extension educators can be critical actors in making connections and forging collaborations to address family and community needs.

In a series of workshops leading up to this event, service providers and Extension educators used an asset-based recovery approach to reveal their practices and the different ways in which they connected with communities to serve military families in the COVID-19 pandemic response.

In this session, we share the community interconnections and assets that have emerged from the workshops and provide resources for forging the community connections that will help us aid in disaster response and recovery for military families in the future.

Learning Objectives

In this session, you’ll learn to:

  • Recognize the interdependencies and assets that can contribute to Asset-based Community Recovery.
  • Determine which elements of Asset-based Community Recovery could be applied in your work and/or community.
  • Plan the next steps you can take to forge connections and collaborations that build your community’s capacity to meet the needs of military families when faced with a disaster.

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event.
