Moving into the recovery phase sometimes can be difficult if community partners and resources are unknown or limited. The Multi Agency Resource Center (MARC) concept eases these concerns and provides an organized plan to bring everyone together to meet the disaster needs of the community. One place, all resources, working together, ensuring everyone recovers.” Brandon J. Holstrom, Regional Disaster Officer, American Red Cross
