Crisis Cleanup is a collaborative disaster work order management platform that improves coordination, reduces duplication of efforts, improves efficiency, and improves volunteers' experience during response to natural disasters. When government, VOAD and local officials authorize its use, survivors are able to call the Crisis Cleanup Hotline and submit their information to volunteers who are trained to respond to requests for assistance with downed trees, mucking out debris, tarping roofs, etc.
The crisis cleanup phone line becomes available after a natural disaster when the appropriate agencies and governments agree that it can be activated. At that point you should hear announcements or see messages with the local phone number. If you want to see whether there is a crisis cleanup hotline opened after a local disaster, check the crisis cleanup web site.
Call Crisis Cleanup to request volunteer assistance with such tasks as removing trees that have fallen on property, mucking out debris, placing tarps on roofs, and other post-catastrophe needs. The actual work will be done by members of volunteer organizations and there is no guarantee they will be able to complete all work orders.
Crisis Cleanup work orders must be placed by phone, but you can see the general type of information that is requested at this site.
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should also contact a member of their Priesthood leadership to be placed on a list of members needing assistance and should provide the Crisis Cleanup Work Order Number that they receive from the hotline.
Each Bishopric should maintain a list of members needing assistance. The list should include the name, address, phone number where they can be reached post-disaster, and work order # if available.
