NC Disaster Response & Recovery

Below are educational materials and environmental health resources that residents of communities impacted by disasters can use in their steps toward recovery. As part of the UNC community’s effort to provide relief and recovery to affected areas, these resources were compiled with support from the UNC Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility (NIEHS grant #P30 ES010126), the UNC Superfund Research Program (NIEHS grant #P42ES031007), and NC Department of Health and Human Services (contract #47421).
