Mission Statement
The Long-Term Flood Recovery Group is a collaborative team of community leaders, local and state officials, representatives from affected communities, FEMA, non-profits and others who manage the Foothills Flood Relief Fund. This group will assess the greatest unmet needs of individuals in Boulder and Broomfield counties and determine priorities for funding recovery efforts. The collaboration is designed to strategically align all available resources, including volunteers, material donations and alternative funding into a "one-stop shop" for residents.
Description
The LTFRG is currently working on implementing a system to determine unmet needs throughout the two counties and develop a case management program in partnership with national Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD). One of the major responsibilities of the group is setting up logistics and planning for the recruitment, training and supervision of long-term recovery case managers who will identify resources and refer residents to possible sources of assistance, including funds available from the Foothills Flood Relief Fund.
