World Cares Center has previously responded to disasters across the five boroughs and around the globe.
Superstorm Sandy
World Cares Center, well prepared due to its Hurricane Irene response, opened three volunteer reception centers in Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, and Staten Island managing spontaneous volunteers who mucked and gutted over 500 homes preparing them for rebuild. WCC also trained over 1700 volunteers in Flood Safety and Response.
Hurricane Irene
WCC led the coordination of volunteer groups providing muck and gut services across the New Jersey. Working with NJ211, New Jersey State Police, NJ VOAD and dozens of volunteer groups WCC managed over 1200 requests for support. This response led to the development of World Cares Centers Flood Response Training co-developed with the Southern Baptists Response Team.
