South Carolina
The people of South Carolina will need your help. They remain in Rescue phase in many of their areas as rain is forecast and the floodwaters are making their way into the southern portion of the state. There will be years of work ahead of us as they move to relief and then recovery. Please keep them in your prayers as they set structures into place to make deployment of ERT possible from outside the state. They have now put up a hotline number for you to register your teams for future deployment – 800-390-4911 or screcovery [at] umcsc.org .

There are still over 3,000 Detroit families living in flood-damaged homes after last year's flood! Imagine these families living in homes that were once filled with 2-4 feet of flood water and have gone without treatment for 14 months!
