Needs have changed.

Mold began to set into the homes because of Helene and then Milton.
Because of Helene the insurance companies were already on the ground with their crews.
LERT have moved efforts to Sarasoda. It is a tree removal project now.

(Old Information)
How do we help with our friends on the west coast?

• Thursday I recieved a call from Jay Wedland (head of Lutheran Early Response Team).
  He was asking for how we are and asking for volunteers to help in St Petersburg.

  • The 2 churches in St. Petersburg have 75 homes with signifigant flood damage.

  • He was asking for volunteers to muck out homes there before the mold sets in.

    • He stressed that it is not pleasant work. It is hot and messy.

• I asked how long would someone be expected to help.

  • He said no more than a week, and it can be just a couple of days.

  • He will take what he can get.

  • Wednesday would be the earliest day you would begin.
