4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. Participating in community service is one way to continue to help youth learn those life skills and become productive and contributing members of their own communities.
Disaster recovery is one way that youth and adult volunteers can get involved with their community in a time of crisis. As with any service project, it is important to be prepared and have
resources that provide support in making a safe plan and successful event.
Extension faculty/staff should assist in assessing any risks to volunteers and property. Extension faculty/staff or capable 4-H leader (adult volunteer) may supervise and assist where needed. No group should engage in a service project that poses a risk for any person or property.
This guide provides some tools to help assist in facilitating a successful event and help minimize potential risks.
