World Cares Center

World Cares Center ensures that those constituents are trained, prepared and ready to respond to crisis locally by leveraging existing resources. Through training, support, and coordination, WCC empowers these spontaneous volunteers and disconnected communities to effectively prepare for, respond to and recover from disaster by training thousands of citizens, community leaders and not-for-profit groups to work together during catastrophic times. We refer to this cadre of individuals as Ready Responders.World Cares Centers three focus areas are:I.Training citizens to be safe and effective disaster volunteers, and local leaders to emerge as disaster managers able to lead their constituents in a proactive educated and equipped manner. WCC works with these leaders to develop their own community response plans.II.Bridging the communication divide amongst stakeholders in the disaster response ecosystem through the provision of a virtual emergency operations center.III.Engaging all partners and trained community members in a physical disaster simulation and exercise to practice their skills and build upon lessons learned.
