Hurricane Ian update

Our friends at UMCOR and in the Annual Conferences affected by Hurricane Ian would like to remind us that, at this time, self-deployed teams will cause more harm than good. Please wait for official invitations from your Conference Disaster Response Coordinator before traveling to help. Roads and conditions are very dangerous in many areas.

Thank you for keeping those in the storm’s path in your thoughts and prayers.

You can give to the relief effort at umcor.org

More news concerning volunteers will come in a few weeks.
