Disaster Program

Recovery

Recovery from a disaster can take weeks and months if not several years. Volunteer San Diego works to connect volunteers with ongoing needs long after the initial spotlight has faded.

Community Recovery Team

Volunteer San Diego is proud to partner with the Community Recovery Team (CRT). CRT provides resources and long term support to help rebuild the homes and lives of families affected by disasters. Learn more about volunteer opportunities at their Local Assistance Centers and more.

Fire Recovery Volunteer Program

The 2007 Wildfires were one of the worst disasters in San Diego County's history. Volunteer San Diego worked towards addressing the needs of fire survivors by enlisting individuals and organizations to help these survivors, especially the elderly and most vulnerable citizens, with the difficult process of recovery. The support of the community allowed us to help in the following ways:
