Disaster Preparedness & Volunteers in Mission

United Methodist churches understand that our mission is to be the transformation the world needs. Our calling leads us to enter into disaster preparedness and response as followers of Christ who earnestly seek to live our faith in ways that can transform communities and the lives of those who are our neighbors.

We can best do this by being true to our collective mission and building capacity in our churches. This is done by attracting, training and managing our volunteers and preparing our families, churches and communities to be better prepared for disaster.
