About this facility

Mission

from website: Driven by Need, Led by Experience, Powered by Volunteers. Humanity Road’s mission is to educate the public before, during and after disasters on how to survive, sustain and reunite with loved ones. Humanity Road volunteers are trained to use Internet and mobile communications technology to collect, verify and route information online during sudden onset disaster. Using the Internet, they provide public safety information as well as directing the public to governmental and aid agencies that are providing assistance for the disaster. Team leaders are required to complete disaster response coursework such as FEMA sponsored NIMS IS700 training. Disaster Desk volunteers are trained in data collection and verification techniques and are provided a framework for prioritization of data collection. The disaster desk at Humanity Road is activated by trained volunteers or when responding agencies request surge support. Humanity Road is a 501[c]3 nonprofit that has earned the www.Guidestar.org Exchange Seal for transparency in reporting, has been named one of the top 10 nonprofit disaster response organizations by www.greatnonprofits.org and is a member of the National Emergency Management Association, a member of Virginia VOAD and an affiliate member of the Broward County Citizen Corps Council.
