Mobilizing Long-Term Recovery: Supporting Survivors in Unmet Needs After Disasters

Long-term recovery groups (LTRGs) play a crucial role in assisting individuals and families struggling with unmet survival needs after a disaster, following the initial response phase. This involves various support services like emergency food, shelter, medical assistance, and more. The process begins with establishing a functional service area, recruiting community leaders, and building consensus on the assistance criteria. By coordinating resources, managing donations, and facilitating volunteer efforts, LTRGs foster community resilience and address the complex challenges of long-term recovery.
