And their standby efforts to support the local churches who will be dealing with helping flood victims in that area. I support them financially, but I won’t be going out there, but I have been to local tornado disasters, S. Illinois floods, and even a week helping during Katrina. I’m sure they could use a hand. Hey Harry, you going? You should... Ellicott City got eaten alive with this latest flood. Harry wouldn't support anything like this. He'd be accusing the aid workers of proselytizing. Always an excuse from the boy. Charity Navigator gives UMCOR four stars, their highest rating. Good enough for me. That flooding was unreal. I don't quite understand how so much water came through the town all at once. I viewed the Ellicott City area on Google Earth and didn't see any major rivers or bodies of water nearby. The topography didn't seem unusual. The Patapsco River runs through there and it is pretty flat so when the river goes over the banks, there is not much to stop it. |

They do tremendous world wide work and also do training for others in case emergencies are in their local area. They thrive on efficiency. In a reverse policy decision, FEMA is now allowed to use church’s for local distribution management. https://www.sasse.senate.gov/public/...1-3AA8276B2D7D |
