Emergency Response Teams  & Volunteers In Mission Teams Needed for Hurricane Response
Florida:
The Florida Annual Conference needs teams right away. All volunteers will be accepted, regardless of ERT Training. Individuals and teams are encouraged to register and should expect to be deployed in the southern part of the state.
Texas:
The Texas Annual Conference (Houston and North Gulf Cost) is very much in need of volunteer help. In the last few weeks, teams have mucked out and gutted more than 6000 homes, but they are still finding communities where the damage has not been assessed.
Volunteers should be over age 18, Safe Sanctuaries certified, and at least one member of the team should be ERT Trained.
Rio Texas:
The Rio Texas Conference (Corpus Christi and Southern Gulf Coast Areas) are taking ERT’s for approximately another 4 weeks and are accepting reservations for Long-Term Recovery teams after that. There are two different registration links, so make sure you use the right one! Additionally, they are looking for individuals who would be willing to volunteer for longer periods of time with site management and volunteer coordination. Contact Eugene Hileman (ashileman@riotexas.org) if you can help with this ministry.
Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands (US Territories):
This is still a government-controlled situation. They are in the emergency relief phase. UMCOR is releasing grants to Puerto Rico quickly and talking daily with the Bishop and other church leaders on the islands.
Contact the pastor or Tom Taylor if interested.


Please send an email or call with a message to Marla as to who may need to be in our community of prayer and for announcements. It is needed for the bulletin by Wednesday evening.  Thank you.
