We develop and maintain effective channels for sharing information. Members and partners foster a climate of openness to promote regular sharing of information about and between our member organizations- their capacities, accomplishments, limitations and commitments. Members develop and maintain effective channels for sharing information, listen carefully to each other, and deal openly with concerns.
We identify common goals and create shared solutions. Member organizations establish shared goals and actively work together to achieve those goals, and undertake specific projects throughout the disaster cycle. Trust, mutual respect, and equal partnerships of community service providers are essential elements of our work.
We work together to overcome challenges. Member organizations recognize that no single organization has all the answers for all the challenges that arise during disasters, and it is important to understand common goals for a community can be best achieved by working or acting together with a common purpose.
We effectively utilize resources to help communities prepare and recover. Member organizations commit to working together, in a non-competitive manner, toward the goal of effective service delivery throughout the disaster cycle.
By joining the IDHRC, your organization gains access to a network of 70+ dedicated disaster service providers. Together, we create a more effective and compassionate response to disasters affecting Iowa communities.
