Alexandria, VA – As the East coast prepares for the impact of Hurricane Sandy, Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) one of the country’s leaders in disaster response, is working with its network of local agencies to ensure they have provisions in place to provide for any possible needs the Hurricane may create in their communities.
Rev. Larry Snyder, President of CCUSA says, “Since Hurricane Katrina, we have focused on being prepared for future disasters. He adds, “Not only are we early responders, but our presence in the community also puts us in a position to be able to quickly assess and provide support in the long-term.”
