The Lebanon County Disaster Recovery Group became Lebanon County Community Organizations Active in Disasters. LC COAD provides coordinated management of the long-term recovery of the Lebanon County area in response to disasters. We will strive to:
• Enable residents (regardless of race, creed, color, gender, disability or religious preference) affected by disasters to get to a "new normal" by conn
ecting them to spiritual, emotional, informational and physical resources within our community.
• Advocate for ongoing disaster preparedness within our county. Telephone: 717.376.0128 ext. 205
The following is a list of in-kind contributors: Jubilee Ministries; Lebanon County Christian Ministries; American Red Cross has provided us with a cell phone designated specifically for case work; three volunteer case workers from the American Red Cross; Youth Advocacy Program is providing five individuals reaching out to disaster victims (contacting via phone); one committee member has donated a laptop along with new battery and accessories and has absorbed the cost of the printer cartridges since Dec. 2011; Lend-A-Hand has done clean-up/sanitation; Mennonite Disaster is contributing manual labor for repairs; rapid rebuild is being chaired by an individual from the Lower Susquehanna Lutheran Disaster Response who is coordinating cases for our county; Lebanon County DES has asked us to sponsor a CERT team which we have considered and are currently working on; we are transitioning to a COAD.
