Thank you! ------------------------------------ Monday, February 1 - FROM THE WEBLOG: ACTS and Operation Hope, an NGO of Haiti, have united in serving together. Dr. Eddy is the brother of Dr. Archer, the hospital medical director, where we began. ACTS, a long-time partner has fed 20,000 hot meals for hospital patients and refugees to date. We have helped 11,000 patients so far. Mainly mothers and children. We are witnessing God provide the urgent medicine we need one day at a time. ACTS is averaging dispensing $300,000 in medicine per week. We distributed five truckloads of water and four truckloads of food. We have been able to save the hospital $100,000 in food costs and donated 3,500 gallons of diesel fuel for the generator. Today we provided the hospital with new badly needed ventilator. God is good! The best is yet to come. ACTS is donating two 180x330 circus tents worth over 1 million dollars in partnership with the YMCA to create a new village for refugees. We will supply medical teams and ACTS partnership with Haitian government to provide location and logistical support for the new village. The medical camp at Carrfour and the outpost team has treated 2200 patients in the last two days. In our partnership with Operation Hope we are serving over 1100 patients per day from all sites. We received stories from our teams in our debrief last night. -------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, January 26 On January 26, 2010 ACTS World Relief began Phase II, transitioning into community outreach in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As a part of Phase II, ACTS is helping to establish and support 50 orphanages and 5 medical clinics. In Phase I ACTS flew in 100 medical, emotional/spiritual, search and rescue, and safety volunteers into Port-au-Prince for the purpose of identifying, assisting and stabilizing 1200 patients in need of acute medical care. Our medical professionals performed 156 orthopedic procedures and amputations. With the acute needs diminishing, Loma Linda University and Florida Hospital will take over organizing and providing long-term care for the Port-au-Prince hospital. Many from the hospital commented “I’m truly amazed at how ACTS is able to deploy so quickly and operate with such professionalism. Our people cannot thank you enough for saving so many lives.” Phase II includes establishing teams of general medical professionals, including PTs, those trained in spiritual/emotional care, health educators and security staff. They will provide care and support for the orphanages and medical clinics. -------------------------------------------------- posted here on 1/16/10 ACTS World Relief News Flash!

We are so fortunate to work with so many teams/relief groups that we'll have to mention in a seperate post to thank them all! Here are some stats and how all of our volunteers have made a difference. Thank you! ------------------------------------ Monday, February 1 - FROM THE WEBLOG: ACTS and Operation Hope, an NGO of Haiti, have united in serving together. Dr. Eddy is the brother of Dr. Archer, the hospital medical director, where we began. ACTS, a long-time partner has fed 20,000 hot meals for hospital patients and refugees to date. We have helped 11,000 patients so far. Mainly mothers and children. We are witnessing God provide the urgent medicine we need one day at a time. ACTS is averaging dispensing $300,000 in medicine per week. We distributed five truckloads of water and four truckloads of food. We have been able to save the hospital $100,000 in food costs and donated 3,500 gallons of diesel fuel for the generator. Today we provided the hospital with new badly needed ventilator. God is good! The best is yet to come. ACTS is donating two 180x330 circus tents worth over 1 million dollars in partnership with the YMCA to create a new village for refugees. We will supply medical teams and ACTS partnership with Haitian government to provide location and logistical support for the new village. The medical camp at Carrfour and the outpost team has treated 2200 patients in the last two days. In our partnership with Operation Hope we are serving over 1100 patients per day from all sites. We received stories from our teams in our debrief last night. -------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, January 26 On January 26, 2010 ACTS World Relief began Phase II, transitioning into community outreach in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As a part of Phase II, ACTS is helping to establish and support 50 orphanages and 5 medical clinics. In Phase I ACTS flew in 100 medical, emotional/spiritual, search and rescue, and safety volunteers into Port-au-Prince for the purpose of identifying, assisting and stabilizing 1200 patients in need of acute medical care. Our medical professionals performed 156 orthopedic procedures and amputations. With the acute needs diminishing, Loma Linda University and Florida Hospital will take over organizing and providing long-term care for the Port-au-Prince hospital. Many from the hospital commented “I’m truly amazed at how ACTS is able to deploy so quickly and operate with such professionalism. Our people cannot thank you enough for saving so many lives.” Phase II includes establishing teams of general medical professionals, including PTs, those trained in spiritual/emotional care, health educators and security staff. They will provide care and support for the orphanages and medical clinics. -------------------------------------------------- posted here on 1/16/10 ACTS World Relief News Flash!

Fill out our Volunteer Registration Form http://www.actswr.org/volunteer ----------------------------------------- ACTS POLICY ACTS has always used the policy of providing assistance at NO charge, which includes NO request for special offerings or advertising promotion. Freewill donations, or mention of ACTS has been greatly appreciated, to help cover expenses and respond as far as resources allow. Whether assisting in First Response, or Long-term Recovery groups which are responding year round, ACTS does NOT charge. ACTS is distinctive in the following 13 ways in its expanding role in Disaster Response: 1. Point of Distribution (POD), where donated goods such as groceries, bottled water, ice, baby diapers, personal comfort supplies, cleaning materials, and household goods are provided by sorting and distribution to disaster survivors. In a declared disaster area, FEMA, the State and EOC, have on file from ACTS, a list of over 2 million dollars of equipment: Forklifts, Refrigerated trailers for ice, Tents and semi trailers for storage of donated goods, semi trucks, pallet jacks, diesel, gas and water storage tanks for First Response. First Responders must be ready to deploy and be in place within 36 hours in a given requested area. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers to accomplish massive sorting on site, and emergency distribution in a controlled manner is vital. FEMA, State, and Counties call on ACTS equipment and experienced management. The Southern Union Education Department organizes high school and College students, for massive distribution along with other volunteers. ACTS leaders provide leadership and volunteers in the given geographical areas. 2. Mass Feeding volunteers distribute pre-packaged meals and prepare hot meals working together with agencies such as the Red Cross, and also the EOC. In order to accomplish effective Mass Feeding and receive USDA food, the following equipment owned by ACTS is used: Multiple mass feeding commercial kitchens of different sizes, Semi trucks to bring in food, generators, diesel, gas, water storage tanks, forklifts to unload USDA food, refrigerated and freezer semi-trailers are required. Also pallet jacks, large tents for storage and feeding, tables, chairs, $200,000 in pre-purchased plastic plates, cups, utensils, and enough food for the first 3-5 days to feed up to 10,000 meals per day, per site are needed. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers for mass feeding is essential to pass inspections from the health department. ACTS kitchens have prepared and distributed 484,000 hot meals at a value of 3.6 million dollars in the past two years. 3. Search and Rescue Operations , with Physician, EMT, Paramedic, Nurse and other health care and rescue specialists work in cooperation with other recognized search and rescue organizations. These individuals are certified in rope, repelling and diving. ACTS has two triage semi-trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient triage needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. 4. Emergency Medical Care volunteers work together with governmental and other health agencies in the distribution of first aid and other medical supplies. ACTS has a network of several hundred health professionals, who coordinate inoculations, and basic first aid care. ACTS has two triage semi trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. Trained personnel and volunteers assist with massive medical care. ACTS has successfully passed inspections from the health department. 5. Food Banks will allow distribution of fresh, frozen, and other foods and supplies to supplement Mass Feeding and Distribution PODS. ACTS knows the necessity to operate its own food bank chain because local food banks only permit a pallet or two of supplies to outside organizations, because of demands. ACTS semi trucks pick up and deliver these items. Existing Food banks do not provide these services. ACTS is franchising the establishment of food banks to also create industry and year-round ministry. 6. Roof Repair volunteers install tarps and work with the Army Corp. of Engineers alongside others. ACTS semi trucks, flatbed trailers and all-terrain forklifts make it possible to pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars of tarps from warehouses. Unfortunately, FEMA offers tarps two to four weeks after disasters occur. ACTS trucked in and oversaw the distribution and installation of 3040 tarps, within one week of the catastrophes (tarps have an uninstalled value of $300 each). 7. Yard Cleanup and tree removal are necessary for emergency housing. ACTS owns chain saws and cleanup supplies, which volunteers have used to clear 794 yards of debris. ACTS plans to purchase skid loaders in the near future. 8. Short and Long Term Housing reconstruction helpers work with other agencies. Plans are being laid for ACTS to coordinate assembling quick houses in a box, which will hold up better than house trailers. 9. Emergency Animal Care is provided through volunteer veterinarians and assistants. ACTS plans to purchase a mobile animal clinic. ACTS trucks have delivered semi loads of animal supplies for volunteers to distribute. 10. Volunteer and Prayer Helpline Calling Centers are being established to coordinate volunteers within each state. Hired students are being professionally trained to pray with individuals in need. ACTS' creates employment at various campuses. The calling center also serves as a helpline for other students and individuals in need. 11. Year-long Internship Taskforce Training programs are offered for Disaster Response. College students can receive credit hours while serving in the field. Full time ACTS employees, who have field experience, are working with these students. 12. A Command Center with satellite and ham radio will enable communication in time of Disaster. The Command center is a semi trailer with expandable sides being wired, with a new generator and AC. 13. Mobile Sound Stages provide spiritual and emotional care through music and encouragement. These are mobile “churches without walls”. Puppet drama is used to teach disaster preparedness from these stages as well. ===================== FLORIDA RECORD FOR OPERATION HOPE FOR HAITI AT: http://www.citizencommandcenter.org/shelters/show/5135 -> 4/10/10: ACTS World Relief chose the Citizen Action Team Relief Database to partner with to provide coordination and direction on orphanage needs in Haiti.

The medical camp at Carrfour and the outpost team has treated 2200 patients in the last two days. In our partnership with Operation Hope we are serving over 1100 patients per day from all sites. We received stories from our teams in our debrief last night. -------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, January 26 On January 26, 2010 ACTS World Relief began Phase II, transitioning into community outreach in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As a part of Phase II, ACTS is helping to establish and support 50 orphanages and 5 medical clinics. In Phase I ACTS flew in 100 medical, emotional/spiritual, search and rescue, and safety volunteers into Port-au-Prince for the purpose of identifying, assisting and stabilizing 1200 patients in need of acute medical care. Our medical professionals performed 156 orthopedic procedures and amputations. With the acute needs diminishing, Loma Linda University and Florida Hospital will take over organizing and providing long-term care for the Port-au-Prince hospital. Many from the hospital commented “I’m truly amazed at how ACTS is able to deploy so quickly and operate with such professionalism. Our people cannot thank you enough for saving so many lives.” Phase II includes establishing teams of general medical professionals, including PTs, those trained in spiritual/emotional care, health educators and security staff. They will provide care and support for the orphanages and medical clinics. -------------------------------------------------- posted here on 1/16/10 ACTS World Relief News Flash!

Freewill donations, or mention of ACTS has been greatly appreciated, to help cover expenses and respond as far as resources allow. Whether assisting in First Response, or Long-term Recovery groups which are responding year round, ACTS does NOT charge. ACTS is distinctive in the following 13 ways in its expanding role in Disaster Response: 1. Point of Distribution (POD), where donated goods such as groceries, bottled water, ice, baby diapers, personal comfort supplies, cleaning materials, and household goods are provided by sorting and distribution to disaster survivors. In a declared disaster area, FEMA, the State and EOC, have on file from ACTS, a list of over 2 million dollars of equipment: Forklifts, Refrigerated trailers for ice, Tents and semi trailers for storage of donated goods, semi trucks, pallet jacks, diesel, gas and water storage tanks for First Response. First Responders must be ready to deploy and be in place within 36 hours in a given requested area. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers to accomplish massive sorting on site, and emergency distribution in a controlled manner is vital. FEMA, State, and Counties call on ACTS equipment and experienced management. The Southern Union Education Department organizes high school and College students, for massive distribution along with other volunteers. ACTS leaders provide leadership and volunteers in the given geographical areas. 2. Mass Feeding volunteers distribute pre-packaged meals and prepare hot meals working together with agencies such as the Red Cross, and also the EOC. In order to accomplish effective Mass Feeding and receive USDA food, the following equipment owned by ACTS is used: Multiple mass feeding commercial kitchens of different sizes, Semi trucks to bring in food, generators, diesel, gas, water storage tanks, forklifts to unload USDA food, refrigerated and freezer semi-trailers are required. Also pallet jacks, large tents for storage and feeding, tables, chairs, $200,000 in pre-purchased plastic plates, cups, utensils, and enough food for the first 3-5 days to feed up to 10,000 meals per day, per site are needed. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers for mass feeding is essential to pass inspections from the health department. ACTS kitchens have prepared and distributed 484,000 hot meals at a value of 3.6 million dollars in the past two years. 3. Search and Rescue Operations , with Physician, EMT, Paramedic, Nurse and other health care and rescue specialists work in cooperation with other recognized search and rescue organizations. These individuals are certified in rope, repelling and diving. ACTS has two triage semi-trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient triage needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. 4. Emergency Medical Care volunteers work together with governmental and other health agencies in the distribution of first aid and other medical supplies. ACTS has a network of several hundred health professionals, who coordinate inoculations, and basic first aid care. ACTS has two triage semi trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. Trained personnel and volunteers assist with massive medical care. ACTS has successfully passed inspections from the health department. 5. Food Banks will allow distribution of fresh, frozen, and other foods and supplies to supplement Mass Feeding and Distribution PODS. ACTS knows the necessity to operate its own food bank chain because local food banks only permit a pallet or two of supplies to outside organizations, because of demands. ACTS semi trucks pick up and deliver these items. Existing Food banks do not provide these services. ACTS is franchising the establishment of food banks to also create industry and year-round ministry. 6. Roof Repair volunteers install tarps and work with the Army Corp. of Engineers alongside others. ACTS semi trucks, flatbed trailers and all-terrain forklifts make it possible to pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars of tarps from warehouses. Unfortunately, FEMA offers tarps two to four weeks after disasters occur. ACTS trucked in and oversaw the distribution and installation of 3040 tarps, within one week of the catastrophes (tarps have an uninstalled value of $300 each). 7. Yard Cleanup and tree removal are necessary for emergency housing. ACTS owns chain saws and cleanup supplies, which volunteers have used to clear 794 yards of debris. ACTS plans to purchase skid loaders in the near future. 8. Short and Long Term Housing reconstruction helpers work with other agencies. Plans are being laid for ACTS to coordinate assembling quick houses in a box, which will hold up better than house trailers. 9. Emergency Animal Care is provided through volunteer veterinarians and assistants. ACTS plans to purchase a mobile animal clinic. ACTS trucks have delivered semi loads of animal supplies for volunteers to distribute. 10. Volunteer and Prayer Helpline Calling Centers are being established to coordinate volunteers within each state. Hired students are being professionally trained to pray with individuals in need. ACTS' creates employment at various campuses. The calling center also serves as a helpline for other students and individuals in need. 11. Year-long Internship Taskforce Training programs are offered for Disaster Response. College students can receive credit hours while serving in the field. Full time ACTS employees, who have field experience, are working with these students. 12. A Command Center with satellite and ham radio will enable communication in time of Disaster. The Command center is a semi trailer with expandable sides being wired, with a new generator and AC. 13. Mobile Sound Stages provide spiritual and emotional care through music and encouragement. These are mobile “churches without walls”. Puppet drama is used to teach disaster preparedness from these stages as well. ===================== FLORIDA RECORD FOR OPERATION HOPE FOR HAITI AT: http://www.citizencommandcenter.org/shelters/show/5135

Also pallet jacks, large tents for storage and feeding, tables, chairs, $200,000 in pre-purchased plastic plates, cups, utensils, and enough food for the first 3-5 days to feed up to 10,000 meals per day, per site are needed. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers for mass feeding is essential to pass inspections from the health department. ACTS kitchens have prepared and distributed 484,000 hot meals at a value of 3.6 million dollars in the past two years. 3. Search and Rescue Operations , with Physician, EMT, Paramedic, Nurse and other health care and rescue specialists work in cooperation with other recognized search and rescue organizations. These individuals are certified in rope, repelling and diving. ACTS has two triage semi-trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient triage needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. 4. Emergency Medical Care volunteers work together with governmental and other health agencies in the distribution of first aid and other medical supplies. ACTS has a network of several hundred health professionals, who coordinate inoculations, and basic first aid care. ACTS has two triage semi trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. Trained personnel and volunteers assist with massive medical care. ACTS has successfully passed inspections from the health department. 5. Food Banks will allow distribution of fresh, frozen, and other foods and supplies to supplement Mass Feeding and Distribution PODS. ACTS knows the necessity to operate its own food bank chain because local food banks only permit a pallet or two of supplies to outside organizations, because of demands. ACTS semi trucks pick up and deliver these items. Existing Food banks do not provide these services. ACTS is franchising the establishment of food banks to also create industry and year-round ministry. 6. Roof Repair volunteers install tarps and work with the Army Corp. of Engineers alongside others. ACTS semi trucks, flatbed trailers and all-terrain forklifts make it possible to pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars of tarps from warehouses. Unfortunately, FEMA offers tarps two to four weeks after disasters occur. ACTS trucked in and oversaw the distribution and installation of 3040 tarps, within one week of the catastrophes (tarps have an uninstalled value of $300 each). 7. Yard Cleanup and tree removal are necessary for emergency housing. ACTS owns chain saws and cleanup supplies, which volunteers have used to clear 794 yards of debris. ACTS plans to purchase skid loaders in the near future. 8. Short and Long Term Housing reconstruction helpers work with other agencies. Plans are being laid for ACTS to coordinate assembling quick houses in a box, which will hold up better than house trailers. 9. Emergency Animal Care is provided through volunteer veterinarians and assistants. ACTS plans to purchase a mobile animal clinic. ACTS trucks have delivered semi loads of animal supplies for volunteers to distribute. 10. Volunteer and Prayer Helpline Calling Centers are being established to coordinate volunteers within each state. Hired students are being professionally trained to pray with individuals in need. ACTS' creates employment at various campuses. The calling center also serves as a helpline for other students and individuals in need. 11. Year-long Internship Taskforce Training programs are offered for Disaster Response. College students can receive credit hours while serving in the field. Full time ACTS employees, who have field experience, are working with these students. 12. A Command Center with satellite and ham radio will enable communication in time of Disaster. The Command center is a semi trailer with expandable sides being wired, with a new generator and AC. 13. Mobile Sound Stages provide spiritual and emotional care through music and encouragement. These are mobile “churches without walls”. Puppet drama is used to teach disaster preparedness from these stages as well. -> Monday, February 1 - FROM THE WEBLOG: ACTS and Operation Hope, an NGO of Haiti, have united in serving together. Dr. Eddy is the brother of Dr. Archer, the hospital medical director, where we began. ACTS, a long-time partner has fed 20,000 hot meals for hospital patients and refugees to date. We have helped 11,000 patients so far. Mainly mothers and children. We are witnessing God provide the urgent medicine we need one day at a time. ACTS is averaging dispensing $300,000 in medicine per week. We distributed five truckloads of water and four truckloads of food. We have been able to save the hospital $100,000 in food costs and donated 3,500 gallons of diesel fuel for the generator. Today we provided the hospital with new badly needed ventilator. God is good! The best is yet to come. ACTS is donating two 180x330 circus tents worth over 1 million dollars in partnership with the YMCA to create a new village for refugees. We will supply medical teams and ACTS partnership with Haitian government to provide location and logistical support for the new village. The medical camp at Carrfour and the outpost team has treated 2200 patients in the last two days. In our partnership with Operation Hope we are serving over 1100 patients per day from all sites. We received stories from our teams in our debrief last night. -------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, January 26 On January 26, 2010 ACTS World Relief began Phase II, transitioning into community outreach in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. As a part of Phase II, ACTS is helping to establish and support 50 orphanages and 5 medical clinics. In Phase I ACTS flew in 100 medical, emotional/spiritual, search and rescue, and safety volunteers into Port-au-Prince for the purpose of identifying, assisting and stabilizing 1200 patients in need of acute medical care. Our medical professionals performed 156 orthopedic procedures and amputations. With the acute needs diminishing, Loma Linda University and Florida Hospital will take over organizing and providing long-term care for the Port-au-Prince hospital. Many from the hospital commented “I’m truly amazed at how ACTS is able to deploy so quickly and operate with such professionalism. Our people cannot thank you enough for saving so many lives.” Phase II includes establishing teams of general medical professionals, including PTs, those trained in spiritual/emotional care, health educators and security staff. They will provide care and support for the orphanages and medical clinics. -------------------------------------------------- posted here on 1/16/10 ACTS World Relief News Flash!

Freewill donations, or mention of ACTS has been greatly appreciated, to help cover expenses and respond as far as resources allow. Whether assisting in First Response, or Long-term Recovery groups which are responding year round, ACTS does NOT charge. ACTS is distinctive in the following 13 ways in its expanding role in Disaster Response: 1. Point of Distribution (POD), where donated goods such as groceries, bottled water, ice, baby diapers, personal comfort supplies, cleaning materials, and household goods are provided by sorting and distribution to disaster survivors. In a declared disaster area, FEMA, the State and EOC, have on file from ACTS, a list of over 2 million dollars of equipment: Forklifts, Refrigerated trailers for ice, Tents and semi trailers for storage of donated goods, semi trucks, pallet jacks, diesel, gas and water storage tanks for First Response. First Responders must be ready to deploy and be in place within 36 hours in a given requested area. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers to accomplish massive sorting on site, and emergency distribution in a controlled manner is vital. FEMA, State, and Counties call on ACTS equipment and experienced management. The Southern Union Education Department organizes high school and College students, for massive distribution along with other volunteers. ACTS leaders provide leadership and volunteers in the given geographical areas. 2. Mass Feeding volunteers distribute pre-packaged meals and prepare hot meals working together with agencies such as the Red Cross, and also the EOC. In order to accomplish effective Mass Feeding and receive USDA food, the following equipment owned by ACTS is used: Multiple mass feeding commercial kitchens of different sizes, Semi trucks to bring in food, generators, diesel, gas, water storage tanks, forklifts to unload USDA food, refrigerated and freezer semi-trailers are required. Also pallet jacks, large tents for storage and feeding, tables, chairs, $200,000 in pre-purchased plastic plates, cups, utensils, and enough food for the first 3-5 days to feed up to 10,000 meals per day, per site are needed. Organizing trained personnel and volunteers for mass feeding is essential to pass inspections from the health department. ACTS kitchens have prepared and distributed 484,000 hot meals at a value of 3.6 million dollars in the past two years. 3. Search and Rescue Operations , with Physician, EMT, Paramedic, Nurse and other health care and rescue specialists work in cooperation with other recognized search and rescue organizations. These individuals are certified in rope, repelling and diving. ACTS has two triage semi-trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient triage needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. 4. Emergency Medical Care volunteers work together with governmental and other health agencies in the distribution of first aid and other medical supplies. ACTS has a network of several hundred health professionals, who coordinate inoculations, and basic first aid care. ACTS has two triage semi trailer expandable units with generators and AC for patient needs. ACTS is assembling smaller mobile vans to work from the base camp. Trained personnel and volunteers assist with massive medical care. ACTS has successfully passed inspections from the health department. 5. Food Banks will allow distribution of fresh, frozen, and other foods and supplies to supplement Mass Feeding and Distribution PODS. ACTS knows the necessity to operate its own food bank chain because local food banks only permit a pallet or two of supplies to outside organizations, because of demands. ACTS semi trucks pick up and deliver these items. Existing Food banks do not provide these services. ACTS is franchising the establishment of food banks to also create industry and year-round ministry. 6. Roof Repair volunteers install tarps and work with the Army Corp. of Engineers alongside others. ACTS semi trucks, flatbed trailers and all-terrain forklifts make it possible to pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars of tarps from warehouses. Unfortunately, FEMA offers tarps two to four weeks after disasters occur. ACTS trucked in and oversaw the distribution and installation of 3040 tarps, within one week of the catastrophes (tarps have an uninstalled value of $300 each). 7. Yard Cleanup and tree removal are necessary for emergency housing. ACTS owns chain saws and cleanup supplies, which volunteers have used to clear 794 yards of debris. ACTS plans to purchase skid loaders in the near future. 8. Short and Long Term Housing reconstruction helpers work with other agencies.
