RESPONSE TO DISASTER

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS & RESPONSE: The United States will continue to face natural and manmade disasters. It is the primary mission of organized units of the USNDFSCOM to encourage citizens to involve themselves in the training and education programs that will aid each member to serve his or her community in the Preparedness Planning and Disaster Response Programs. Members of this organization are dedicated to the safety and well being of each and every member of their respective communities.

We must all recognize the true state of affairs. Our nation is not prepared for natural or manmade disasters. We can just look at what is happening to our citizens as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The facts are that better than 90% of our towns and communities are even less prepared than New Orleans. They have no competent plan to prepare, protect or evacuate their citizens. That is why the USNDFSCOM was created so that we can establish units of local citizen who are trained in CERT and other programs who can volunteer their training and expertise to their local communities. We can only do this if citizens involve themselves in the program. Members must be a people that honestly recognize the situation and are willing to step forward on behalf of their fellow citizens and community. This is an exhibition of patriotism and concern for the safety of their community. This is the meaning of Duty, Honor and Country.

The safety and security of our great nation is the responsibility of each and every citizen in these times of crisis. We band and work together to aid our government in this effort. Every citizen has something to offer and a stake in our nation. If you sincerely believe that you have a moral obligation to help make your family, your neighborhood and community safer, then you are the type of patriotic American that we want in our rank and to serve the common good for the welfare of our great nation. America was founded and supported by volunteer patriots and in this time, it needs you. We believe in Loyalty and Honor, without one you cannot have the other. We are loyal to our fellow members and the organization.

God Bless America
