Following a disaster, people are often displaced, and have had their lives and livelihoods turned upside down. Agencies, governments and insurers all have a role to play in recovery, however any help is often not practically enough, or is offered too late. During times of disaster, people need immediate help.
Disaster Recovery Army Incorporated was established because of the increasing need and frustration by people requiring meaningful help in their efforts to recover and get back on their feet.
Co-ordinating recovery is an enormous task following any disaster, but having a force of troops at call to get in on the ground, and a network of supporting trades and suppliers, Disaster Recovery Army Inc is a streamlined approach that can be trusted to get things done, fast.
By working with aid agencies, locals, and broader support networks, Disaster Recovery Army is here to help people get back on their feet, and properties secured and functional again.
Here's some of our most popular requested assistance:

Summer Ready
Summer Ready is our seasonal campaign helping meet the needs arising from disaster throughout summer.
This season, we're necessarily ambitious. Heeding the warnings by authorities that we're in for a dangerous summer with expected bushfires and floods, we know that we're able to deliver help when we're closer to danger zones. So, we're expanding our fleet of Response Trailers and our depot locations. We've strategically planned to have depots located across Victoria that will position us no more than three hours away from wherever a disaster occurs, allowing us to deploy troops and be at a disaster fast.
