Disaster Response Floods

#JoaquinFloods

On October 4th, 2015, Hurricane Joaquin’s waters flooded areas in the Carolina Conference. CNN stated; “South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley didn’t mince any words on Sunday about just how dangerous a situation the weather– which was blamed for five deaths in the state by Sunday night– had become in her state.”

Adventist Community Services was quick to respond and has established two warehouses in the Carolinas. The warehouses seem to have large amounts of bleach and water and is requesting for no more of those items to be sent over to them.

However, they are requesting cleaning products. In an event as large as this one, not only many businesses and homes are destroyed, but landmarks as well. Cleaning supplies are beneficial to help those struggling to clean up. Please stay tuned to updates on the addresses to send these items to.

Prayers are requested for everyone who is dealing with the repercussions of the flood. Let’s pray for the individuals affected, for sunshine to dry up the water that remains, and let’s pray for the families of the people who lost their loved ones in the floods.
