LEVELS OF DISASTER RESPONSE (Slide 13) It should be understood, that at all levels circumstances may dictate that assistance from other ACS entities may be required. Level 1. Any disaster affecting 10 or fewer families: Response is from local disaster response teams. Level 2. Any disaster affecting 11 to 50 families: Response is from local and area disaster and response teams. Level 3. Any disaster affecting 51 to 100 families: Response is from local, area, conference, and union (regional) disaster response teams. Level 4. Any major or catastrophic disaster affecting over 100 families. This may require response by local, area, conference, and union (regional) disaster response teams. Support from the Division may also be needed. (These four levels are guidelines established by the North American Division Adventist Community Services Disaster Response system. Other regions of the world will likely their own protocol.)
