Resources
There are a wide range of resources which may be useful for the small emergency relief agencies at which our book is aimed - far too many to include here.
Most resources that will be helpful to emergency relief agencies will not have the words 'emergency relief' attached to them, such as books on planning, interviewing, volunteer recruitment, fundraising and public relations, community building, and so on.
Two particularly helpful websites containing all kinds of useful information for small community groups are:
www.communitybuilders.nsw.gov.au and www.ourcommunity.com.au
Checking the LINKS pages on the websites you visit for the addresses of other website locations can yield all kinds of interesting information.
Books and manuals that we have found helpful include:
The ACOSS Emergency Relief Handbook (3rd Ed.). This manual can be downloaded at www.acoss.org.au
