Missional Excellence Team report for District Conference 2007

Local Missions:

It's Hurricane Season Again!

The District Missional Excellence Team is working to have an emergency preparedness profile of our district. They need YOU to fill out the Emergency Preparedness Survey ASAP so we know what we can do where - if & when tragedy strikes.

This hurricane season is proving to be busy. Communication during these times is vitally important to both understand and respond to special needs in our district. In order to provide the best, most timely help we can as United Methodist Congregations, the North District Offices are requesting that all churches respond to this  by providing the following answers:

Are you\will you, or your community, housing evacuees: how many and where?

Can your church provide volunteers to work in active shelters: how many and for how long?

Are there any needs you have as a church or community during hurricane evacuations?

Are there any 'clean-up' efforts that might need to take place in your community: where/when/what type?

Please respond by typing in your answers and sending to the District Office that is sending this email out to you.
