This event is being organized by the Craven County Disaster Recovery Alliance. CCDRA was organized as a local long term recovery group after Hurricane Matthew. It includes representatives from local churches, local nonprofits and governmental agencies as well as representatives from statewide emergency management. While organized as a long term recovery group after a disaster situation, there was also a desire to educate churches and nonprofits on disaster preparedness. Eastern North Carolina has had its share of disasters in recent years.

Craven County Disaster Recovery Alliance (CCDRA) is working closely with Lutheran Services Carolinas to identify and assist those still in the recovery phase after Hurricane Matthew.  If you are interested in joining the Case Management Team, please contact us.  Case Management meetings are the 1st & 3rd Tuesday at 4pm at United Way of Coastal Carolina, 601 Broad Street, New Bern NC.
