2021-2022 Disaster Response Services (DRS) rebuilding projects
Louisiana Hurricane Ida project:
Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana on August 30 as a category 4 storm, causing severe wind damage and some flooding. We tentatively plan to operate a base in the affected area, starting in January and going through March or April.
Louisiana Hurricane Laura project:
Hurricane Laura caused catastrophic damage in Louisiana in 2020. We plan to continue rebuilding damaged houses in the Lake Charles area from November 29, 2021, through March 25, 2022.
Gates, Oregon, fire project:
A raging fire blazed through Oregon in 2020, destroying numerous homes. We currently plan to have a base in Gates, Oregon, to rebuild houses from November 29, 2021, to April 23, 2022.
In addition to volunteers, we need funding to support cleanup and rebuilding projects throughout the U.S. Our projected funding need for 2021/2022 is $3.6 million. If you wish to help, your support will be a blessing!
