Disaster Response

 

 

 

As a Lutheran Disaster Response Affiliate Agency for the Metropolitan Washington, DC Area, LSS/NCA is poised to provide disaster services.  Lutheran Disaster Response accompanies individuals, families, and congregations in communities preparing and responding to disasters through four core components:

bullet

Spiritual and Emotional Care

bullet

Hardship Grants

bullet

Long-term Recovery (case management)

bullet

Volunteer Coordination

 

Preparedness Workshops and Consultations                

LSS/NCA will work with churches, schools and civic groups to help them develop their own disaster preparedness plans and pre-register their volunteers.

 

Congregations that have active plans in place can be sources of refuge and strength in their communities. 

 

Volunteers who are trained and affiliated with a disaster response organization find their best gifts are used in meaningful ways where and when they are needed the most.
