A meriCorps Disaster Response Teams

Quarterly Capacity Assessment

The Disaster Services Unit (DSU) strives to respond to disasters in an effective and efficient manner through our AmeriCorps Disaster Response Team (A-DRT) programs. In order to deploy programs strategically in times of disaster, the DSU needs to have current information on every A-DRT program’s capacity.

The Quarterly Capacity Assessment should be completed and submitted to the DSU upon approval of their Disaster Response Cooperative Agreement and continually on a quarterly basis: January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15. This will provide the DSU with greater situational awareness throughout the year, aiding in the DSU’s planning and projections for CNCS’s capacity to deploy to a disaster.
