Become a NDR Disaster Ready Church!
Follow these guidelines to create a comprehensive disaster action plan. Your church plan will be personally reviewed by our National Director. Once you receive certification as a NDR Disaster Ready Church, you become our NDR ally in the region. We will contact you if there is a significant disaster that occurs in your area. This process ensures two things: 1) You are able to take care of yourselves in the event of disaster 2) You are able to serve others.
