Flexibility is the mantra of disaster relief work.
This morning the Calhoun County EMA sent out a note requesting that teams
NOT
come to Jacksonville until Friday.
We had a team back working in Jacksonville beginning early this morning
(we were there even before the EMA sent out its request!). The team worked
the entire day on just one piece of property where 5 trees had been
uprooted. There's still about 4 more hours of work remaining to
finish that job and they'll do that tomorrow morning and then call it
quits for the week. We will NOT
work in Jacksonville on Friday nor will we field additional teams
tomorrow (Thursday).
However, we WILL
be back in Jacksonville for the entire week next week - starting at 8 pm
Sunday night, March 25 and finishing at 5 pm on Friday, March 30 -
working under the auspices of our travel partner, Samaritan's Purse. We
will be contacting our CFC team members later tonight to ask who can
participate next week and when. SP will need to know ASAP so they can
plan for our arrival Sunday night. It's our intent to live in the accommodations
SP will make available to us so those of us who can spend multiple days
there won't have to worry about traveling back and forth between
Jacksonville and Birmingham each day. Day workers will be welcomed,
of course, but we will hope that many of our CFC members will be able to
commit to multiple days of work, if not the whole week.
Once again, NO
MORE WORK FOR OUR CFC TEAMS IN JACKSONVILLE THIS WEEK.
While you may wish to participate individually on Friday - and you may
certainly do so - please don't be disappointed if you don't find a CFC
presence there on that day.
