Purpose Statement
The purpose of Domestic Disaster Management is to prepare for and respond to natural and man-made disasters within the continental United States through community-based preparedness planning, mobilizing prepositioned resources, and providing training to World Vision staff, churches, and strategic partners.
Domestic Disaster Management is dedicated to identifying and serving the needs of the most vulnerable communities hit hard by disaster. Domestic Disaster Management engages in the full lifecycle of a disaster response: relief, recovery, and rebuilding.
While Domestic Disaster Management provides essential support services to the communities. Our intent is to come alongside the community to help build capacity to mitigate the impact of, prepare for and respond to disasters. Our ultimate aim is to promote sustainable community transformation.

Local Partnerships
• World Vision has a rich network of partnerships with churches, community organizations, and government agencies with whom we work when disaster strikes. This network and our long-term presence in a community allows World Vision to quickly respond during a disaster in coordinated, effective ways. As a trusted partner serving in the community, World Vision-along with its partners-also can respond to disasters with greater reach and long-term impact.
14
Civil Service
World Vision works to be a responsible and effective voice in the community by serving on planning committees with organizations such as National and State Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD), the office of Emergency Management (OEM), FEMA, The Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity. These relationships allow us to serve as a liaison to the community and be a voice for the children and families in need.
