When a major weather event, like a hurricane, strikes, communities often receive an immediate outpouring of help. However, the community need continues long after a lot of organizations have left. In North Carolina, families are working with local partners to rebuild their lives both immediately and years after initial storms. Verizon is committed to staying for the long haul. This vital work is part of the Verizon Community Disaster Resilience initiative, inclusive of long-term recovery and disaster preparedness. Rebuilding, repairing and updating homes to withstand extreme weather better than before. Flood proofing, roof fortifications, and building with weather resilient materials. Working with national partners who understand the local and unique needs of their residents. The goal is to move communities forward so that people can feel a sense of wholeness, a sense of safety and a sense of home.
