The Black Resilience Network (BRN) is uplifting the work of BRN member Cassandra Campbell, Executive Director of the Robeson County Disaster Recovery Coalition, Inc. (RCDRC) and Vice President of NCVOAD, for her leadership and coordination in strengthening local response capacity in Robeson County, North Carolina.
RCDRC Resiliency Hub Status
RCDRC’s Resiliency Hub (21,000 sq. ft. warehouse) located at: 710 Town Common St., Lumberton, NC 28358 is activated internally and is currently supporting two functions:
1) Staging (Non-Public Logistics Function)
RCDRC is receiving, organizing, and preparing incoming resources so they can be deployed efficiently.
This includes:
Offloading and sorting supplies
Preparing items for partner pickup or delivery
Checking in volunteers and documenting activity as needed
This is a non-public, logistics-focused function.
2) Distribution Support (Partner Coordination)
RCDRC is coordinating with partners to move resources out to community organizations, shelters, and neighborhood groups as needs arise.
This is not a public-facing POD.
What RCDRC Is Not Operating
RCDRC is not functioning as a public POD at this time and is not distributing directly to the general public unless formally requested by county emergency management.
RCDRC’s goal is to strengthen the overall response by serving as a reliable logistics and support node. If you have unmet needs, resource gaps, or coordination points RCDRC should integrate, please connect directly so efforts can be aligned.
