The Peninsula-Delaware Disaster Response and Recovery Team urgently needs your help. Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, our pool of trained Early Response Team (ERT) members has drastically diminished. These teams, typically composed of six to eight members skilled in various disaster recovery tasks, are crucial for effective disaster response. Currently, only two trained members remain in our Conference, severely limiting our ability to respond to emergencies.
We need more volunteers to step up and get trained. Basic ERT training is just 8 hours, with advanced courses taking 4 hours each. Training can be arranged at your church, and multiple churches can collaborate to host these sessions. Volunteers do not need to be church members but must align with our UMC beliefs.
