Rotary Responds
With more than 1.4 million members worldwide, Rotary members are on the ground and ready to take action to help communities recover when disasters strike.
Rotary supports three phases of relief:
- Immediate response: Our local clubs and partners immediately offer helping hands and supplies.
- Short-term assistance: Our clubs and districts help affected communities wherever we can through funds and materials to re-establish day-to-day operations.
- Long-term rebuilding: Our clubs plan and implement projects that rebuild affected communities.
