Mission


During times of emergency, native americans cannot rely on our own government helping us. So we as a people, must reach within and express outwardly by rising up together to help our people during times of natural disaster. Our goal is to raise volunteers to help in, raising funds or necessities, and working with other organizations for relief efforts.

Organization

NERVA will be used to help our people when needed. We will answer the call of our people. By creating this organization, we are meeting a need that most tribes across the country lack because the federal government can't help unless invited or asked from the state to which the tribe is located in. NERVA can bypass that process by coming to the aid of our people.


We will reach out to the emergency management or risk management for each tribe and work with them personally. NERVA will work with an advantage that FEMA doesn't have within the federal government. We the members of NERVA are made up of native people and non-native people who understand the culture, traditions, and the reservations we will be helping. Our volunteers will be both native and non native working to help our people.
