North Carolina Inclusive
Disaster Recovery Network (NCIDR)

Join the Network

Collaborating across sectors, across issues, and across communities.

The North Carolina Inclusive Disaster Recovery Network (NCIDR) is a collaborative of public, non-profit, and faith-based organizations. We amplify community voice and advocate for inclusive decision-making and equitable outcomes in planning for, recovering from, and making our communities more resilient to disasters.

 We first started working together in 2016 after Hurricane Matthew as a way for statewide, mainstream organizations to be allies to community-based leaders.

 Now, our network includes over 850 individuals representing nearly 600 groups, organizations, agencies, and communities.
