Construction, Rebuilding, Volunteer Services

After emergency response to a natural disaster, a community organizes to tackle the long-term rebuilding process. In the Slidell, La. area, which suffered extensive wind and water damage after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005, Northshore Disaster Recovery, Inc. (NDRI) is leading the multi-year recovery effort.

NDRI is one of the stations of the Louisiana United Methodist Disaster Recovery Ministry, funded by the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The staff provides case management and construction support for households in St. Tammany and Washington Parishes and serves as the long term recovery organization for St. Tammany Parish.
