Disaster Contractors Network (DCN) Online Contractor Disaster Contractors Network (DCN) provides consumers, building professionals, and suppliers with the tools they need to meet repair and rebuilding challenges in the aftermath of a storm or other disaster. Florida’s design and construction professionals share a common goal of building a better Florida through the use of hurricane‐related mitigation techniques and energy‐efficiency standards. Disaster Contractors Network is an online tool that allows the general public to connect with contractors and suppliers when storm‐related services are in high demand and allows contractors and suppliers to offer to provide goods and services to the general public when storms or other natural disasters hit areas of Florida. This web application allows users (property owner, supplier, or contractor) to register and connect with one another to obtain goods or services. The web application is incredibly user friendly and easy to navigate. The revised application was completed in late May and launched to the general public on June 1, 2016. This [write up] is to announce the launch of the revised web application and we ask that each member organization share this email with their members requesting them to take a few minutes from their busy schedules to tour the website and register online. There is no charge for registration or use and DCN will not use or sell any information provided for marketing or soliciting. LEARN MORE JUNE 2016 • DITCHMEN 15
