Comments on: Hurricane Irene Response Update – Response Information and Needs http://nccumc.org/outreach/irene-response-update-response-information-and-needs/ Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:04:37 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David Merrill http://nccumc.org/outreach/irene-response-update-response-information-and-needs/comment-page-1/#comment-281 David Merrill Sat, 10 Sep 2011 17:45:03 +0000 http://nccumc.org/outreach/?p=2847#comment-281 I would like to compliment Craig Parker and his Bethany UMC response center and team. They ran a top notch operation. They were gratious host for the NC and VA teams that went there. They all helped with assesments and made work assignments based upon the needs of the survivors and the ability of each team. I would recommend that this event and Bethany's performance be used for a model for other churches to follow. I would like to compliment Craig Parker and his Bethany UMC response center and team.

The DRC is meeting tomorrow and will talk further about long term response. Warehouse venue will be part of that discussion. P&G Steve Rob,

We have continued to use the warehouse as a base for shipping cleaning buckets and some other specific relief/recovery supplies. In response to Hurricane Irene, we have shipped about 8000 buckets out of or through the warehouse. We actually shipped all the buckets out and until a delivery yesterday, for a couple of days had no buckets available. With regard to picking up flood buckets, you simply need to coordinate through the DRC person whom you are going to support. Similar coordination can happen through Ann Huffman at the Disaster Response call center. They simply are trying to ensure that with limited supplies, the folks get them to the areas they need to go. P&G Rob,

I heard this morning that the old MERCI center (aka the new UMM Warehouse) is not allowing ERT teams to come in and take flood buckets or supplies when heading out to the disaster areas? Tell me this is not true? If so, we need to find another distribution method for the flood buckets and supplies other than this warehouse. I am a trained ERT team member through UMCOR.
