2012 HURRICANE SANDY -

Response to Sandy

We express gratitude to the several volunteers who have already offered to serve, however, right now, all response efforts for Hurricane Sandy remain to be in the emergency and rescue stage.

UMVIM will continue to communicate via email, Facebook posts, and Twitter any news that we receive. Rebuilding is a long and arduous process. We will continue to keep those affected in our prayers and ask that you do the same.

UMCOR Cleaning Buckets:

We encourage churches, mission groups, and individuals to spend a day creating cleaning buckets. The need for cleaning buckets and also school kits are currently being requested by the Northeastern Jurisdiction and UMCOR staff. Instructions can be found at www.umcor.org

PREPARE -
Cleaning Buckets or School Kits

For more information for shipping, please email our office or contact your Annual Conference. Several Annual Conferences will have collection points set up and we can connect you with those contacts.

For the latest information on breaking Disasters see the UMCOR Hotline.

Disaster areas that receive volunteer teams for long term recovery require sufficient time to assess damage and coordinate a response. Potential teams must be patient in the early stages of disaster, as the only persons allowed into such areas are Emergency Management Agency and certified personnel and law-enforcement officials.

The first contact point for volunteers after a disaster is the UMCOR Volunteer Hotline (800) 918-3100. Your name will be registered to receive information on volunteering at a site. You will be contacted as the area is able to receive volunteers.
