Job description
In 2018, central and eastern North Carolina was impacted by Hurricane Florence. Four years later, there are still many families struggling to rebuild their lives. Additionally, North Carolina remains at high threat of another hurricane impact. The Catholic Charities Disaster Services Program works to help individuals, families, and the community prepare for and recover from natural disasters. While there is no controlling who is impacted by a disaster, economically vulnerable populations are disproportionately affected. When local resources are overwhelmed by a natural disaster, Catholic Charities is ready to respond to the needs of survivors. Catholic Charities focuses on the response, recovery, and preparedness phases of the disaster cycle. The initial response phase consists of staff addressing the basic needs of survivors by distributing donated items such as nonperishable food and water, cleaning supplies, and hygiene items. During the recovery phase, Catholic Charities distributes financial assistance and provides disaster case management to help families obtain safe and stable housing. Catholic Charities may assist with household expenses such as the first month’s rent, utility deposit, and costs to repair structural damage to the home. Training and education are critical to increasing resiliency in communities and improving response efforts to future disasters. Throughout the year, Catholic Charities works with the community to conduct two types of events. Public preparedness events share information and supplies with the community while educational workshops train volunteers on how to help their neighbors after a disaster.
Member Duties : The disaster case management worker will conduct outreach to isolated and vulnerable communities, complete needs assessments, develop recovery plans with clients, and accompany them along their path to recovery. The worker will help plan and attend community wide preparedness events. The worker will also be trained on and present Catholic Charities workshops for disaster case management, operating points of distribution, and conducting canvassing activities. The AmeriCorps member will utilize the Disaster Case Management Model to assist those affected by natural disasters and COVID-19 with matching resources to needs as laid out in their individual recovery plans. This position is a part of Catholic Charities USA’s COVID-19 Response Program, a national intermediary project. As a member, you will meet virtually with other members serving throughout the country, all focused on serving populations affected by natural disasters and COVID-19.
