The Disaster Services Corporation (DSC) is a second-responder and a Catholic lay organization that provides person-to-person recovery services to families impacted by man-made and natural disasters across the United States. In addition to DSC, local Vincentians (members) dedicate thousands of volunteer hours to help families impacted by natural disasters. DSC is a national non-profit that is a sister company to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVDP), led by CEO, Elizabeth Disco-Shearer. Elizabeth has been involved with SVDP disaster-related operations since 2005 and is a former director for Catholic Charities and executive director for SVDP Dallas. The program will continue to focus the Society’s efforts on the long-term case management needs of affected people after all of the first-responder agencies have departed.
