Cajun Navy Ground Force Cajun Navy Ground Force trains and mobilizes volunteers to assist socially isolated disaster victims.
Disasters don’t impact everyone equally.
Lack of a designed intervention for the elderly and disabled is an urgent humanitarian crisis in the USA.
Rob and the Cajun Navy Ground Force team is leading the charge to address this crisis. After responding to dozens of disasters Rob began to recognize a pattern where the elderly seldom received the needed level of care after disasters. The care needs of elderly, infirmed, disabled and other disadvantaged members of a community are very different than more abled citizens.
The reason is quite simply that these groups are often very socially isolated.
This lacking network limits the help they receive when compared to younger or more abled citizens of disaster stricken communities.
To meet these needs Rob has designed five Swift Intervention Programs: 1) SAFE Camp 2) Community Caretaking 3) Remote Team 4) Visual Storytelling and 5) Leadership Training.
These programs to work in unison to bring fast, long term, efficient relief by delivering a countless creative range of services to the most impacted individuals.
