VII.1.h: Disaster Response
Create partnerships at multiple levels to improve our coordination on disaster response. Other Information:
The extraordinary national service response to Hurricane Katrina, in which more than 100,000 participants contributed more
than 7 million hours and managed a half million volunteers, reinforced the key role that national service plays in responding
to natural disasters. The Corporation has created partnerships at multiple levels to improve our coordination on disaster
response, including with FEMA, state service commissions and emergency management agencies, National Voluntary Organizations
Active in Disasters (NVOAD), and our grantees through the signing of cooperative agreements that allow national service programs
to be reimbursed for expenses covered by FEMA mission assignments. More information can be found at: http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/newsroom/katrina.asp.
