The Amherst Disaster Recovery Group (ADRG) has been created to provide the county with a resource team that is readily available to respond in the event of a natural disaster occurrence within the county. The member base is composed mostly of governmental and charitable organizations that provide services following a natural disaster to those affected, but can also include any person or non-profit wishing to help. The organizational structure of ADRG is designed to include volunteers of all realms, manage monetary and tangible donations, as well as construction projects in a manner to help restore the lives of those affected to where they were prior to the catastrophic event. As a county, we have learned a great deal and grown in our knowledge of how to organize resources to respond to events such as the tornado on April 15, 2018 and the derecho from June 29, 2012. By incorporating the knowledge gained from these experiences into ADRG, we as a community will be better prepared in the event of another disaster.
