The Sullivan County Department of Emergency Services is looking for contact information from local community and volunteer groups interested in helping develop a pre-disaster plan for Emergency Food and Shelter.

When disasters strike, many local groups are ready to assist those in need. While we recognize the contributions of food pantries and government facilities, we are specifically seeking contact information from church groups, legions, and community organizations, as well as potential shelter locations throughout Sullivan County, from Shunk to Lopez, Colley to Muncy Valley, and everywhere in between.

We need individuals and groups that can provide manpower, logistics, food storage, preparation locations, volunteer management, donation management, and shelter options. Your input will be invaluable in creating effective solutions.

Responding to this message does not lock you into a commitment, but working together will make the effort easier for everyone involved. We want to understand the resources available in our county and how we can support those affected during a disaster.

For more information, please contact Jason Dickinson, Director of the Sullivan County Department of Emergency Services, at 570-946-5010 or [email protected]."
