Community in Crisis, Inc. is a (501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization located in eastern North
Carolina dedicated to helping communities
become stronger and better able to withstand the debilitating effects of disaster-- when, how,
and wherever it may strike.
Our mission is to facilitate the development of
disaster resilient communities through locally
sustainable grassroots programs in partnership
with churches, civic groups, local governmental entities,and other nonprofit organizations.
With the help of grant funding and donations, and
working hand-in-hand with local EMS and other
disaster response agencies, we function as networking consultants and trainers to educate and assist leadership in small at-risk communities with limited resources, (usually with a population of less than 10,000).
We link organizations in those communities together
so they can begin the process of building on their
existing strengths and identifying gaps that would
cause significant problems in the future.
Whether fire, flood, storm, pandemic, economic downturn or terrorist attack, there is much that can
done to strengthen communities if people will work
together. Our organization helps identify interested volunteers, start the planning process, build programs, exercise creativity in problem-solving, and identify resources long before a disaster strikes. Just a little effort and advance planning can make a world of difference after a disaster and can possibly
even save lives.
We also help your community form a network of lasting relationships with those external resources across the state and nation that can be helpful to you for a long time in the future.
