  1. Disaster Relief Abigail Rains Ms. Danehower’s 1st block

  2. Research • Natural Disasters occur frequently throughout the world every year. • Even when natural disasters occur in developed countries, resources from state, local, and federal governments are often stretched to the limit, depending on the magnitude of the event. • After these events many people are in desperate need of recovery.

  3. Research (Cont.) • Hurricane Katrina is an example where faith-based organizations filled a tremendous gap left by government response by providing food, shelter, relief workers, financial assistance, and spiritual comfort. • These services were provided by volunteers affiliated with faith-based organizations at no cost to local, state, and federal governments.

  4. Research (Cont.) • More can be done to help those in need because the funding that is used to respond to the disasters is not solely from the government. • Faith-Based organizations provide spiritual, emotional, and physical rehabilitation to the survivor, which helps to regain a healthy lifestyle.

  5. Examples of Faith-Based Organizations • UMCOR (United Methodist Committee On Relief) • UMVIM (United Methodist Volunteers in Mission) • NC’s Baptist Men’s Disaster Relief Ministry • Lutheran Disaster Response • Catholic Relief Services • Mennonite Disaster Service
