According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC), our nation faces a 70 percent chance of an above-normal hurricane season this year. That means six-to-nine hurricanes with three-to-five categorized as major hurricanes. HOPE worldwide wants to ensure we are prepared and ready to serve those impacted by natural disasters.
HOPE worldwide is continuing our recruitment efforts for the Immediate Disaster Case Management (IDCM) program through our national volunteer network.
