Our mission is to build community resiliency across Oklahoma by providing hope to disaster survivors in Long Term Recovery through: project and volunteer management servicing home repair needs; awareness and advocacy; preparedness and mitigation services; all to vulnerable populations who have no means of recovery on their own.
CURRENT NEEDS
URGENT: Active response efforts are ongoing following the June 17 windstorm in northeast Oklahoma and April 19 tornadoes in central Oklahoma. Volunteers are needed for debris clearing. Active recovery efforts are ongoing from the May 2022 disasters in Seminole, Okmulgee, and Muskogee. Volunteers are needed for home repairs. We will find lodging for your team, have materials and tools on site, and provide a Project Manager to make your team successful on any project. Your support is critical in making homes home again for all those in need. Please volunteer and donate today!

THANK YOU
“I just wanted to thank you so much for everything. I want you to know how much I appreciate what you are doing for us. We never thought we’d go home. There are no words to show my appreciation to you all. You are angels in my mind. Just know that I’ll never forget this remarkable thing you are doing for us.” ~ Sonny
THANK YOU
“I am truly thankful to you ALL, beyond words!!! I’m still trying to take it all in. Here I am again, crying, as I write this and think about you wonderful people who gave so much! There is no way possible, I could have pulled half of this off on my own. Since you were here making my house and life a better place, I thank God for being here with me, and thank Him for sending you to me in my time of need. … I am sincerely grateful to ALL of you!!! I can’t tell you how good it feels to come home and kick my shoes off, and walk on the floor again. Home is a good place to be again, already. God bless all of you!!!” ~ Angie
OUR SERVICES
ROAD serves disaster survivors through the disaster case management process. When a disaster survivor has been vetted and determined to have home repair needs they can not meet on their own, they are then served through the free services we offer.
ROAD is the center of all things home repair in a disaster. ROAD maintains the DIRRT database where all disaster Case Managers enter their work orders, assessment requests, and bid reviews.
Our key service is providing the supervision needed to complete each home repair. Each project is vetted by a case manager who qualifies the disaster survivor as having a true need they cannot meet on their own.
Volunteers are the life blood for disaster recovery across the globe saving as much as 70% over the cost of hiring contractors to do the work
