 CEN ReadyMS Activates!

As of press time, 26 have been killed as a result of 12 tornadoes that have hit Mississippi and Alabama in five days, the National Weather Service reported. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared a State of Emergency in affected areas, activated medical support and formally asked FEMA to expedite assistance. There have been 13 deaths reported in the small town of Rolling Fork, MS. In announcing the higher death toll Saturday afternoon, MS Emergency Management Agency said four people who were missing had been accounted for. Dozens more people were injured, as CEN activates ReadyMS, says CEN National Public Information Officer John Phelps. 

ReadyMS Administrator Misty Israel Marascalco reports: “Cornerstone Church in Pearl MS are gathering supplies to deliver to one of the hardest hit areas in Amory, MS today. One lay leader says: Devastation!. That is really the best way to sum it up. People have lost everything. Schools closed, pretty sure high school will not even open for rest of the year. Our church is full of elderly people who cannot even move stuff."

CEN National Logistics Officer Sherry Buresh is monitoring the situation and awaiting reports from the hardest hit areas, seeking a staging area for volunteers to assist those in the devastation. Sherry says: “We will stand up spontaneous volunteer crews who will help with chainsaw work and clean up for those in the affected area. We will be networking with local churches who are not directly affected like the Cornerstone Church and other organizations who are coming alongside the survivors in need. If you would like to help in any way please let us know at: CONTACT US.”

“Deploy with Confidence by preparing your team using CEN’s ReadyChurch training to help you pray, care and share Christ with those affected by natural disasters like the tornadoes in MS. A ReadyChristian and a ReadyChurch is committed to disaster relief through recovery. As the frequency and severity of catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and droughts continue to increase, it is essential to build a well-trained, flexible, and collaborative team that can swiftly respond to the needs of affected communities. This includes investing in ongoing professional development programs, engaging in strategic partnerships, and fostering a culture of empathy and preparedness as reflected by Scripture. By taking these proactive measures, your team will be better equipped to provide effective assistance and support to those who are most vulnerable in the face of life-altering natural disasters.” says Michael Boler CEN National Operations and City Consultant.
