The Disaster Relief Administrator plays a key role in building and sustaining CAP's capacity for rapid, volunteer-driven disaster response. Working closely with the Director of Disaster Relief, this position helps develop and maintain a highly engaged network of trained volunteers who are prepared to deploy quickly when disasters occur.

This position requires regular travel, extended deployments, and overnight stays in temporary or austere conditions.

Helps strengthen and expand relationships with churches and groups currently engaged through Home Repair and Church Relations, while actively supporting outreach to new partners to grow CAP's disaster response capacity. Works alongside the Director to build and maintain connections with churches, community organizations, and partner agencies that can serve as landing pads-host sites, staging areas, and support locations- when a disaster strikes. Participates in designing and maintaining communication systems, volunteer engagement pathways, and readiness processes that support rapid mobilization and long-term volunteer retention. 60%

  • Assists the Director in all phases of CAP's disaster response operations across all four tiers, including rapid assessment, mobilization, deployment, and recovery activities.
