Humanitarian Resources International (HRI) provides technical assistance in disaster preparedness and response, along with training, and recruitment in the fields of disaster relief and international development.

Disasters are an unfortunate part of life. Thankfully, governments and civic organizations can reduce the loss of life and suffering through preparedness, mitigation,  and response measures. The key element in effective humanitarian work is having the right human resources in the right place at the right time. This is where HRI can help.

HRI provides training to humanitarian aid workers and also maintains a roster of experienced aid workers who possess a wide range of technical skills. We can also support your organization or public agency with all aspects of project management, coordination, communications, and evaluation related to disaster preparedness and response.

If you are in the Portland, Oregon area in the US, please be sure to check out ResiliencePDX, a free public event designed to bring together public agencies, businesses and community organizations to educate the public about disaster preparedness and resilience. It will take place on June 2nd, 2012 at the King School and Park in Portland, Oregon.
