Miami-Dade County, Fla., emergency management officials have been praised for their effective preparedness and recovery in a hurricane-and flood-prone area. Now the county is serving as the pilot for a federal program to better engage members of the community who haven’t been as easy to reach.

Communities Organized to Respond in Emergencies (CORE), a program launched by the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, is designed to better engage faith-based and community organizations in planning for, responding to and recovering from disasters.

Thrift Stores Near the Rockaways - Network Partners

Sat, 2012-12-01 14:09 — admin

As we develop systems of distribution for donated clothing and other supplies, we must keep in mind that when Sandy hit there were already existing businesses, like local thrift shops, working in this field.  Let’s make sure that we partner with these folks and not compete with them.  Let’s offer them the opportunity to become part of the resilient network.  Some of these stores are likely victims of Hurricane Sandy themselves and need our support.

Following is a list of thrift stores that are within 8 miles of the Rockaways.
