Village Hub Manual (3rd Edition), by David Smathers Moore

This hard copy guide concisely explains Village Hubs principles and provides step-by-step guidance for actually setting up a Hub during a disaster, including job descriptions for the seven volunteer roles used in the Classic Hub Set-Up. The Village Hub Manual is designed both for "blue sky" study and practice before disaster strikes and quick reference during a real event.
