Do you have a plan in place in case of a disaster? We don't anticipate them but when they strike, it is always good to be prepared After 9/11, Mamaroneck floods, Hurricane Sandy, Katrina, the ongoing immigration crisis and more, having a plan and being ready to act is crucial for the wellbeing of your friends and family.

Fuller Center of NY volunteers are always ready in case something occurs. Here is some of what our volunteers have assisted with:

Mamaroneck 2006: assisted with more than 200 homes in gutting, mucking, and repairing
Hurricane Irene: assisted with repairs and gutting and mucking homes
Hurricane Sandy: became a lead rebuilder in the Rockaways and Breezy Point
Puerto Rico: helped to distribute supplies and now the Fuller Center is building in Maunabo

We also believe a National Disaster University should be created in New You so every utility worker can get a certification and a degree in disaster management.

This would help ensure the safety of our communities and improve disaster response. Jim Killoran presented the idea to the Moreland Commission in XXXX (need date here).
