As the frequency and intensity of natural and man-made disasters increase, it is only a matter of when, not if, our local community will be affected. Preparation is key.
Towards this end, Sr. Jane Aslam, Director, Disaster Relief Services, ICNA ReliefUSA, will speak to the community at large on November 14, 2015. At the end of the workshop, you will have learned how to protect your family in the event of a disaster and how you can be a valuable resource in the community when tragedy strikes. Workshop open to teens and adults.
You will also learn what it takes to be on the frontlines as a volunteer during a disaster. As you are aware ICNA Relief USA offers Disaster Relief Services to help survivors of both man-made and natural disasters. Our volunteers have served tosupport and rehabilitate communities in almost 40 disasters, from the Twin Towers in NY, during Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav, Ike, and Sandy; floods in Tennessee, Detroit, and Texas; tornadoes in Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and more . ICNA Relief USA is recognized by FEMA and NVOAD, and has participated in projects funded by the American Red Cross, FEMA, United Way, and the September 11th Fund.
Being well prepared is half the battle. Learn how you can protect your family and community at this valuable workshop.
