Disaster Response Team

The Disaster Response Team provides immediate assistance to people whose homes have been devastated by a natural disaster. Their prime responsibility is to make things safe, sanitary and secure for homeowners who may not have the support system to help them. Sign up to be part of the team that will be notified when we are called to respond when a disaster strikes.
