Nourishing Resilience #8 – Managing On-the-Ground Response for IYCF-E

In the event of a disaster or other emergency, you may determine that active response is needed. After hurricane Helene, the SAFE Team engaged in an organized, active response beginning within a week after the storm until daily ground operations wrapped at the end of February. Hear from Digital Coordinators Ashley Mickelson and Rachel Fann, and Boots-on-the-Ground Coordinator Melinda Delisle, about how daily operations ran for the SAFE Team.

In this session, we will cover:

• Ways to determine whether or not an active response is needed, and how much of one.
• Levels and types of organization for active response.
• Essential elements for a group response.
• Finding volunteers.
• Types of systems and tools (mostly free and low-cost) to use.
• How remote digital coordinators are a gift to on-the-ground operations and aid smooth functioning.
