READ is a non-profit corporation designed to provide immediate assistance to schools following natural disasters to help return students to a sense of normalcy while allowing adults time to take care of their own personal recovery needs. The mission of Restore Education After Disaster (READ) is to provide K-12 students with a return to normalcy as soon as possible by providing prompt, skillful and cost-effective educational restoration services. Through developed partnerships, READ will respond to an area effected by a natural disaster within 24-96 hours to begin assisting local schools and/or districts in recovering from the disaster. The primary focus is on helping students return to a sense of normalcy. By setting up temporary shelters to act as classrooms, teachers will be able to provide curriculum based upon the disaster to educate the students about what has happened and why it happened. Teachers will then be able to return to teaching standard curriculum.
