Disaster Relief- Request Support

The Fund will provide disaster relief by way of renewable energy sources. Various concerned citizens and organizations have already loaned and donated PV powered equipment to survivors of various disasters over the past two decades. This program is an organized approach to provision this necessary service. A larger number of more effective renewable resources will be provided in an organized manner to the people in need at no cost to them.

Renewable energy powered equipment and hardware to supply power to necessary equipment for services needed in first response efforts after a disaster; ideally within the first weeks after an event. Funds will also be used to certify equipment, market the program, transport equipment to site, transport deployment teams and educate users with minimal overhead. A team of trained REDRF first responders will collaborate with local relief organizations to deploy certified renewable powered equipment to the disaster site. The equipment will be donated to the survivors through local relief organizations for use in recovery as they evaluate their circumstances and determine their future.

There are training programs for disaster organizations, government agencies, schools, volunteers and survivors.
