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 how you can help with ongoing recovery efforts.

Trained volunteers will also be needed to assist survivors at our Local Assistance Centers after future declared disasters. Sign up to get information about a training near you.

Fire Recovery Volunteer Program

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