Since ShelterBox’s creation in 2000, Rotary and Rotaract clubs have been working with the organization to assist communities immediately following a disaster. Rotarians are often ShelterBox’s first point of local contact during emergencies. From helping assess a disaster’s impact, to housing response team volunteers, to helping coordinate relief logistics, Rotarians provide vital assistance to ShelterBox Response Teams (SRTs)
