EARLY RESPONSE TEAMS

After contacting conference coordinators and other contacts on the ground, the Southeast Jurisdiction United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM, SEJ) has learned that the areas affected by Hurricane Gustav are still accessing their needs at this point, as many areas are still without power.  Though the hurricane weakened before hitting landfall, it is clear that there is still some serious damage. 

UMVIM Conference Coordinators in Louisiana and Mississippi have asked UMVIM volunteers to give them several days before they start receiving calls, and urged volunteers NOT to go to this area at this time.  

When the UMVIM, SEJ office has learned more information, the information will be distributed. Please call the UMVIM, SEJ office if you have any questions, at (404) 377-7424.
