North Carolina Inclusive
Disaster Recovery Network
Collaborating across sectors, across issues, and across communities.
The North Carolina Inclusive Disaster Recovery Network is a collaborative of public, non-profit, and faith-based organizations seeking avenues for community voice and equitable access to resources in our disaster recovery system.
We first started working together in 2016 after Hurricane Matthew as a way for statewide, mainstream organizations to be allies to community-based leaders.
Now, our network includes 750 individuals representing over 550 groups, organizations, agencies, and communities.
