But isn’t NY EDEN just duplicating the Red Cross?
• When individuals, families, and communities suffer from a disaster, NY EDEN has resources to help mend personal loss, rebuild farms and help communities recover and rebuild homes, businesses and lives.
• NY EDEN is active in all phases of disaster which means they can help communities and individuals become more disaster resilient.
• Communities that are disaster resilient are economically more sustainable.
• Their citizens are less dependent on the hundreds of million dollars in local, state and federal support.
• This ultimately helps reduce the amount of government funding needed for disaster response and recovery.
We’re not the Red Cross, we’re Big Red!
