Immediate Life Sustaining Needs

Then, when available, any emergency medical supplies are shipped along with the water and food. Items such as band-aids, wound cleaning agents, and over the counter medications are always needed.

All of our Disaster Operations are based out of our Mission Warehouse.

In this Phase, Transportation Crews are used in the shipping of the materials.  This would be a man power crew that would be interested in the loading of trucks and transporting relief supplies to the disaster area.  Truck size could range from pick-ups to semis, depending upon the need, and will supply emergency relief without regard to an individual's financial standing on a temporary basis.
