Are you a member of a Chatham County House of Worship or Faith-Based Organization? If so, you are invited to join the Chatham County Disaster Faith Network!

CEMA created the Disaster Faith Network (DFN) within Chatham County to serve as a coalition of Faith-Based organizations. The Chatham County DFN helps meet the immediate and long-term needs of our community when we have been affected by a disaster. The vital connections between Faith-Based organizations and CEMA helps foster a whole community relationship and enhances communication and coordination, emergency preparedness, and response and recovery operations. It is our hope that through this coalition, the Chatham County Disaster Faith Network will strive to make Chatham County a more disaster resilient community.
