About Omaha Rapid Response We are... A non-profit organization founded by members of the churches of Omaha in early 2000 in response to the increasing number of natural and man-made disasters around the world. Comprised of mostly volunteers. Each team member is responsible for financing their portion of trip expenses. Many of our volunteers work full time and using vacation time to travel. Our staff members are also responsible for their raising their own personal support and travel expenses. Compassionate. We genuinely care for all of Gods people throughout the world and share His love through our actions and words. We are aware of cultural differences and treat each culture with respect and dignity. Servants who put the needs of others above our own. We willingly travel to places at the risk of our own lives to reach those desperate for help. We Are Committed To... Bringing hope to the hopeless by meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the hurting. Meeting the needs of the poor and disadvantaged, here and around the world Building relationships with those we serve in order to meet their immediate and future needs: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We Believe... The impact of a disaster is immediate and long term. The effects of loss, destruction, and hardship do not end when the disaster no longer makes our news headlines. We continue to send teams to the affected people as long as we feel we can be of assistance. From the Heartland of America we can make our mark on the world. How We Do It... Most areas affected by disasters have access to the food and supplies necessary to meet the needs of the people but lack the means to deliver it. We go into the affected communities meeting with the leaders and take their requests for immediate needs. Then we purchase the items in the nearest city or country to that area. This eliminates the timely delays that can occur with other relief efforts. This also allows us to travel to areas where other larger agencies can not or will not serve. Additionally this aids in the recovery of the local economy, which speeds recovery from disaster by providing income and jobs. By teaming with local doctors that are familiar with language and culture of the area, we can provide more efficient medical services. We work with the physicians to purchase medicines and supplies to best meet the needs of the people in the devastated area.
