These trainings cover three topics and help connect to you TBM teams:
- How to effectively serve after fires and floods. Fires and floods turn people's lives upside down quickly. You can help set them on the road to recovery.
- How to rebuild a house to make it secure and sanitary again after a flood. Learn the skills you need to empower people to live in a home again after a disaster.
- How to cook thousands of meals a day after disasters. When you've lost everything, a hot, nutritious meal means more than something to eat. It means someone cares about you.
