Mike Sapp, the CEO of the Trauma Resource Institute, and our host, Elaine Miller-Karas, the Co-Founder of the Trauma Resource Institute, will discuss how to launch the Disaster Relief Mobilization: Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® Preparation Program (DRM:CRM) in your community post-disaster like Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene. The program is a model that can create a trauma-informed, resiliency-focused prevention program in preparation for a community disaster. The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (2022) describes disaster as "A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts." They will discuss how DRM:CRM grew out of the Trauma Resource Institute's experiences around the globe after disasters to provide CRM workshops and Teacher Training Programs to community members. They will share how individuals around the world when have reached into the best part of their humanity to help themselves, their families, and the wider community during and after the most difficult life experiences with courage and strength.
