Crisis Cleanup

Crisis Cleanup implements a "Craigslist" philosophy to recovery efforts- organizations that are aware of work orders enter them into the system, and organizations with capacity to help can claim and perform the work. The system is not public, but it is open and transparent among participating organizations. No centralized organization is "in charge... . This non-threatening approach minimizes duplication and maximizes communication, coordination, and efficiency. While entering a client into Crisis Cleanup does not guarantee that he or she will be served, it guarantees visibility and maximizes the chances for assistance, while helping relief organizations prioritize their limited resources. Disaster relief organizations may join as long as they: Have a physical presence in the area Interact directly with survivors Perform property assessments or remediation Are reputable (e.g. are a VOAD member or come recommended by a VOAD). Committed to open data and collaboration. Crisis Cleanup is open-source and free of charge.Read More
