Current estimates are that over 20 tornadoes slashed across the North Carolina Conference bringing extensive destruction and more than twenty deaths. Scores of homes are destroyed or severely damaged. Damage and needs assessments are in process across the NC Conference.

All twelve districts in the NC Conference suffered some storm damage and in five districts there are areas of extreme damage. Volunteer Emergency Response Teams are needed in several areas. These are the first responders who have been trained and certified for such initial response. If you have an Early Response Team and would like to help, please contact tornadoresponse @ nccumc.org or call 888-440-9167. If you have damage in your area or are in need of an early response team, please contact your District Disaster Response Coordinator.

The NC Conference has activated a disaster response coordination center at the MERCI Ministry Center. We immediately need volunteers to help with the telephones and coordination effort. If you would like to volunteer, please email tornadoresponse @ nccumc.org or call 888-440-9167.

If you have a volunteer work team who would like to volunteer once we move from the initial response phase to the recovery phase, please contact tornadoresponse@nccumc.org or call 888-440-9167. Please leave your contact information, your skill levels, your equipment capacity, and any other information you wish to tell us. We will contact you and direct you to the area requesting the team. We will have a form listed on our website for this information in the next day or two.

If you are willing to have your facility be used for work teams for this, or any, disaster, please fill out the Disaster Response Facilities Survey and send it to tornadoresponse@nccumc.org and cgoehring @ nccumc.org.

Please also consider reaching out financially by giving to NC Storms Emergency Response – NC Advance #S-00176. 100% of every gift to this Advance will go to storm response. You can donate on-line at: Tornado Response

You can also send funds to: NC Conference, P.O. Box 60053, Charlotte, NC 28260. Please be sure to note Advance #S-00176.

This post will be updated as more information is available.
