Title: "How to Set Up a Drought Long-term Recovery Group"
Date: November 28, 2012
Time: 2:00  - 3:00 p.m. Central Time
URL: https://gomeet.itap.purdue.edu/EDENDrought

The intended audience is anyone interested in the process of setting up a long-term, drought recovery group whether they are from a community affected by drought or from an organization wanting to assist a community in setting up an organized,     long-term drought recovery group. The audience is for those providing assistance rather than those requesting assistance. This Webinar will be promoted to National VOAD members and EDEN delegates as the primary audiences, others who want to assist in drought recovery are welcome. The audience will learn about resources from National VOAD and EDEN and hear points from Lutheran Disaster Response on how they have used      long-term recovery groups to help in past droughts. This webinar is jointly hosted by National VOAD and EDEN (National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster and the Extension Disaster Education Network).
