Disaster Recovery – Allows Rotarians to donate money in response to specific disasters. Funds are distributed to local committees to support recovery efforts. With its network of more than 32,000 clubs worldwide, Rotary is uniquely effective in helping communities recover after a disaster. Because all Rotarians are part of a community, members can quickly identify project opportunities when a local disaster occurs.
