Long Term Recovery Group Training

A Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG) is a cooperative body made up of representatives from faith-based, non-profit, government, business and other organizations working within a community to assist individuals and families as they recover from disaster.

LTRGs are as varied in structure as are the communities in which they work. The personality and operation of each group are unique and reflects local needs, available resources, cultural diversity, leadership style, and community support.

No matter how a group is structured or what it calls itself – unmet needs committee, interfaith, organization, coalition, roundtable, partnership, coordinating council, etc. – the goal is the same: To unite recovery resources with community needs to ensure that even the most vulnerable in the community recover from disaster.
