winter storm recovery

This storm is only the second state-wide disaster declaration in Texas history. Every county was affected, as a result, response and recovery will have to be coordinated and carried out on the local level. Congregations are recommended to organize with their county recovery organizations to coordinate their early response and long-term recovery.

Help us recruit skilled volunteers, who either have experience in pipe repair, or can go through our training and can be deployed locally or are willing to go to other communities with unmet needs.

Please coordinate all repair work through your Recovery Organization. Look for our volunteer Burst Pipe Repair training coming soon. 

Recruit Plumbers (retired, disabled, etc) who are willing to provide Site Supervision or On-Line Technical Support.

Contact Christine Riggle to submit unskilled, skilled and professional volunteers. criggle@txcumc.org

Godfrey Hubert, Disaster Readiness Coordinator of the Texas Annual Conference guides us through the do’s and dont's for helping others and responding during the recovery process
