Abstract

This discussion demonstrates that three interrelated activities should improve volunteer organizations' disaster capabilities. These factors include improved disaster planning, learning from related experiences, and improving interorganizational networks. These three activities can dramatically improve the local chapter's emergency response. Networking ought to be the first priority. Through the development of both formal and informal contacts, planning and experience potential become enhances. Without the support and involvement of volunteer organizations, an effective community-wide disaster response would be difficult, if not impossible.
