NDRI Director's Report November 2007
Dale Kimball, Director
It is our pleasure to furnish you with our quarterly report regarding the progress of Northshore Disaster Recovery, Inc. (NDRI) / Slidell Storm Center whose purpose is to respond to those who were uninsured or underinsured and whose unmet needs will not be covered by other relief systems private or public. We provide spiritual, emotional and physical resources to those affected by Hurricane Katrina, including the rebuilding of hurricane damaged homes in St. Tammany and Washington Parishes of Louisiana. Our primary focus at this time is those whom are living in FEMA trailers, elderly citizens and those determined to be most at risk as we approach Hurricane season once again.
NDRI was established in Oct 2005 as the Long Term Recovery Organization for St. Tammany. We are located on the campus of Aldersgate UMC at 360 Robert Blvd. During the months of Oct 05 thru Dec 05 the center was involved in relief efforts ranging from food, water and clothing distribution to tree cutting and house gutting. In January 2006 the center and its staff switched gears to begin the long term recovery process by entering into the reconstruction phase. In May of 2006 we opened a satellite center in Bogalusa, Louisiana to support the recovery efforts in Washington Parish. To date NDRI has rebuilt 436 severely damaged homes; repaired 826 moderately damaged homes, and completed 6,345 other Unmet Needs cases ranging from medical assistance to transportation. These numbers do not include the hundreds of homes that were gutted and cleaned out in the months immediately after Hurricane Katrina. To date we have served 7,578 clients and NDRI has put over 23,450 volunteers to work since September 2005, we have logged 938,000 man hours of volunteer labor, the equivalent of $ 16.9 million in free labor. NDRI has hosted volunteers from 47 states and 14 foreign countries. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana have been our top 3 states sending volunteers.
