Community Resources Inventory.
I need to develop a resource inventory for pre-disaster planning. Can recovers help? We need to know what heavy equipment is available and how to dispatch it, what restaurants can cook with gas when the power fails, who our HAMs are etc. This info needs to be available to the ICS.

Hi Bill,
Yes, this is something that Recovers can help with.
1. Every community site in Recovers has its own Resources Map. See https://demo.recovers.org/resources for an example. This is where any vetted organization in your community can list its resources (and sheltering capabilities) along with its location. Additionally, each organization can update its available resources at any time so you have a clear picture of the situation post-disaster.
2. Regarding individuals such as HAM radio operators, they can all sign up as volunteers in the system with the skill of HAM. You will then be able to search the database of volunteers at any time for available HAM operators.
Hope that answers your question. Feel free to leave a comment if it doesn't and we'll get back to you!
