Every year in the U.S., disasters turn lives upside down. Whether natural or man-made, disasters cause loss of life, environmental damage, and exacerbate social and economic problems. CNCS maintains a sustained commitment to disaster services through the Disaster Services Unit, which coordinates the agency’s disaster related activities. This Wordless Wednesday takes a look at these work and lives of these volunteers.
