Managing On-the-Ground Response

If you have followed the rest of the series so far, you are now quite familiar with what volunteers can do to support infant and young child feeding after an emergency occurs. If multiple volunteers are needed, how do you collaborate and organize your response effectively?

In this session, the SAFE Team shares a bit about how you can determine what level of response is needed, and an overview of what is needed for a larger-scale response. Presented by Ashley Mickelson and Rachel Fann, Digital Coordinators, and Melinda Delisle, Boots on the Ground Coordinator, this session provides a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into managing the information, items, and volunteers in a way that transforms the ever-changing post-disaster landscape into an agile and effective response.
