Disaster Relief

SCDR response to tornado in Oklahoma

Thank you all for your prayers and support for Oklahoma. Oklahoma Disaster Relief leaders (Southern Baptist and State Emergency Management personnel) have said the following:  

  • Please do NOT self-deploy. Join us in allowing the first responders to do the work they need to do. It will take time to assess the complete amount of damage. Best practices include a collaborative response, so people are directed WHEN NEEDED and WHERE NEEDED so those with skills most needed will be most effective. 
     
  • Please ask everyone to make only financial donations until/unless other types of donations are requested. It is understood that this does not satisfy everyone’s need to give at this time, but it is what is MOST needed right now. Donated goods (bottled water, blankets, clothing, etc) are not needed. There is already an ample supply.
