We at NCIDR are members of many faith groups throughout the state of North Carolina. We are committed to respond together in a coordinated process to disasters in our State. We also coordinate and communicate with one another about our separate faith groups’ responses to national and other major disasters in our world. We meet on a regular basis for coordination and information and service to those affected by 
disasters. 

We are open to members of other faith groups and continue to expand our membership to include more faith groups throughout the state of North Carolina. Our by-laws require that each faith group can have up to as many as 3 delegates.
