I decided to be the only person who didn't mention the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season yesterday. :) However......there always seems to be a however doesn't there??! :) The 2007 hurricane season did begin yesterday and we have now already had 2 named storms. If the forecasters are correct we have another 15 named storms to go.
****This brings me to something we'd like to discuss with you. ******
We are looking for congregations of the Church of Christ who will give us advance approval to use your parking lot as a staging area for our equipment should a disaster occur in your area. We are a 1st Response Organization and need to be "on the ground" immediately following a disaster. Many times following a disaster cell phone towers are down and it is basically difficult to get in touch with all the elders, etc. in a congregation to make this decision immediately. If this approval is given in advance we can come in immediately and reach out to those affected. We are completely self-contained and all we need is the use of a portion of the parking lot. This response can be done by email, however it must be done by an elder of the congregation.
While no one wants a disaster in their town, disaster relief is very helpful to the members after a disaster and is a very effective way to reach the lost in the community.
