Abstract
The format for this report is to state project objectives and then summarize activities related to each objective. Project objectives for June 1999 through May 2000 were to select full-time and part-time personnel for the project (accomplished); establish liaison with appropriate Federal agencies and programs (accomplished); conduct site visits to obtain information for the development of program materials (accomplished); develop a Community-Based Mass Crisis Response Initiative Needs Assessment Report (accomplished) and a Community-Based Mass Crisis Response Initiative Community Action Guide (accomplished); and develop a Community-Based Mass Crisis Response Initiative Program Implementation Guide (accomplished) and a Community-Based Crisis Response Initiative Program Brochure (accomplished). Another objective during this period was to begin development of the Community-Based Mass Crisis Response Initiative Site Self-Assessment forms (accomplished). Project objectives for June 2000 through May 2001 were to design and develop the Community/Agency Self-assessment Questionnaire; identify and select three demonstration sites; design and develop CCRI 1 week planning/work session and associated materials for Phase III; implement Phase II of the CCRI in three demonstration communities; conduct the planning/work session in three demonstration sites; continue networking with other projects; continue development and maintenance of the CCRI web site; and begin the development of a CCRI marketing plan and strategy. All of these objectives were accomplished, with the exception of the planning/work session in three demonstration sites, which was only partially accomplished due to scheduling variations.
