Hurricane Season
July 2009 Issue

Welcome to iNET

Welcome to iNET, the e-newsletter of the National Disaster Interfaiths Network (NDIN).

It is Hurricane Season! We encourage our readers to evaluate their house of worship preparedness plans for continuity of essential social services following a storm. Flood and Storm recovery efforts remain underway in Alaska and Florida. If you can lend a hand in recovery, please contact your National VOAD partners!

As always, if you have questions or comment about iNET, or if you have news that you want to submit to us, please e-mail Joshua Wilwohl, Editor at editor@n-din.org.

Peter B. Gudaitis, M.Div.
President, Board of Directors
