You are Frontline in Response

When disasters strike your community . . . the first few days most outside help often cannot and should not be there. Neighbor to neighbor, church member to church member, community members to community members become the earliest response that happens. Once rescue efforts have completed and public safety has been restored, more aid from outside can happen. Families and communities can easily be cut off from the outside world for days due to trees, power lines, flooding, etc. and often must take care of there own until that changes.

Does your family have an emergency plan? Does your church know how it will care for its members, facility, and community if disaster strikes? If not contact Jason Brock at JBrock@tnumc.org and our Conference Disaster Ministry will seek to provide you with training, consultation, and resources to help you be Ready.
