NRCA establishes disaster relief fund to help rebuild disaster areas

NRCA has established the National Roofing Foundation's Disaster Relief Fund with its charity partner Rebuilding Together, a volunteer organization that rehabilitates the houses of low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners. The fund will be used to provide new roofs in the regions affected by Hurricane Katrina.

In addition, NRCA will contribute to other industry initiatives, which have not yet been determined. NRCA will conduct research to decide the best use of its funds.

Contributions to NRCA's Disaster Relief Fund can be made to the National Roofing Foundation (NRF). Donations are tax-deductible. Contributions will be used exclusively to fund relief efforts. NRCA and NRF will cover all general and administrative costs.

In addition, Good summarizes the hurricane's preliminary effects on the roofing industry and addresses licensing requirements for roofing work in the disaster areas.
