On Saturday, April 16 a series of devastating tornadoes hit
many areas of Central and Eastern North Carolina.
N.C. Baptist disaster relief volunteers began doing
assessment and disaster recovery as soon as the storms passed. There are still
many areas where volunteers cannot safely get into due to downed power lines.
North Carolina Baptist Men is setting up disaster recovery
sites in many of the affected areas, in the next few hours and days based on
the assessments.
Right now disaster relief team leaders are setting up or
assessing operations in Wake, Johnston, Lee, Bladen, Wilson, Cumberland,
Person, Northampton, Bertie and Robeson counties.
Baptist Men is keeping a list of potential volunteers and
donations are being accepted for the Tornado Disaster Relief Reserve fund. You
can donate online or mail check to: NC Tornado Disaster Relief, North Carolina
Baptist Men, P.O. Box 1107, Cary, NC 27512-1107.
