Knowledge & Coordination
World Cares Center’s mission is to reduce the harm, suffering, and loss caused by disasters by empowering underserved, at-risk communities to prevent everyday accidents and react as educated and skilled ready responders when a crisis occurs. Founded in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, WCC operates based upon the reality that local citizens are truly the first first responders after a catastrophe. All community members—citizens, leaders, and government officials—have something to contribute when a crisis occurs, and it is our commitment to train them to do so in a safe, effective, and coordinated manner.
Comprehensive Training and Services Education
The Knowledge Center WCC offers a curriculum online and in classroom-like settings tailored towards specific demographics, free of charge. Beginning with individual and family readiness training, which serves as a foundation for preparedness and risk mitigation, WCC’s courses allow all individuals to become well-versed in disaster response and volunteerism. Local leaders are trained to serve as disaster volunteer managers and develop community response plans, and citizens are empowered to emerge as disaster volunteers.
The Collaborative Disaster Volunteer Credential- The first collaborative credential created by a board of volunteer managers that will utilize it with their peers.
In the classroom and in the field – WCC provides ongoing safety and disaster response training to individuals, groups, and local government. Lessons offered range from comprehensive flood safety and response, including mucking and gutting operations, to emotional resiliency that supports the mental and emotional well-being of disaster volunteers and survivors.
The Coordination Center
The Coordination Center – A virtual emergency operations center that connects individuals during times of disaster, allowing them to share updates, request resources, and/or offer support. During times of crisis, when coordination between experts and on-the-ground volunteers is imperative, RRN allows lines of communication to remain accessible by all participants, at any time, free of charge.
