US Disaster Response Teams (UMCOR) help out with the long-term recovery process in a region suffering from a disaster. In the days, and often weeks, immediately after a disaster the community will need time to secure the area, assess damage, and coordinate a response before volunteer teams arrive on the scene. Normally, the only persons allowed in such areas immediately after disasters are certified personnel and law enforcement officials. UMCOR provides training for early response teams.
