A message from the chair
Greetings Prospective DRCA Members,
Thank you for visiting the Disaster Recovery Coalition of America’s (DRCA) website and for your interest in learning more about the benefits of DRCA membership.
When I assumed the chairmanship of DRCA at the beginning of this year, my primary goal was to strengthen our connection with members and recognize their invaluable contributions to the nation’s disaster recovery efforts. It has been my privilege to do so and to witness firsthand the extraordinary work our members are doing to enhance resilience in our communities.
DRCA is committed to strengthening our nation’s ability to respond to and recover from disasters. Through a multifaceted approach centered around four key pillars, we ensure that communities across America are better prepared and more resilient in the face of adversity.
It has been an honor to lead this remarkable coalition, and I look forward to continuing our critical work in the year ahead.
If you would like to learn more about DRCA membership, please feel free to contact Casey Long, DRCA’s Executive Director, at [email protected] or (202) 441-0493.
Warm regards,
-Pete Gaynor
Chairman, Disaster Recovery Coalition of America
