PDA hopes that you will continue to be a part of this ongoing story of hope and rehabilitation that continues to unfold. What is a Volunteer Village? Volunteer Villages provide a predictable, safe, and sanitary environment for volunteer groups where they can live in community while serving others. The vision of the village is to create community among all the volunteers present in the village each week. Community is created one week at a time, facilitated by a volunteer village manager who is also a volunteer. Each village houses between 90-120 people, so each week there can be as many as six or seven different teams present from churches around the country. Teams are needed to help in the clean-up, recovery, and rebuilding phases ? please consider sending a team from your congregation, Rotary club, Elks club, garden club or other civic organization. The minimum age for volunteers in the Gulf Coast is 18. Who pays for the trip? Each group (or church sending the group) bears the costs of their own transportation, lodging, food and incidentals. Most disaster sites make arrangements for lodging at a reduced cost. Most sites like to have groups stay for a week or longer. Options for shorter trips are available on a site by site basis. Each group's responsibilities will vary from site to site and individual site coordinators will be able to give you that information. In general, however, needs for services and skills will vary with each stage of disaster response. The emergency stage (days or weeks following the disaster) involves meeting urgent needs such as helping to establish emergency shelters or feeding stations. The relief phase includes clean up and temporary repairs. This phase can last from one to several months; longer when flooding is involved. The recovery stage deals with permanent repairs and rebuilding. This stage can last from several months to several years. In this phase the biggest need is for skilled teams. ============================= Louisiana - Hurricanes Presbytery of South Louisiana Presbytery email; Web site Glenda Keegan and Wood Rogers, work team coordinators, (877) 366-7675 Part of the Presbyterian response to Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast; at least 12 locations are hosting teams *Ask about age restrictions RHINO ?

notes: Volunteer Villages, a part of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance's 8-year commitment to the Gulf Coast, create opportunities for volunteers, survivors, and local congregations to work in partnership and cultivate relationships that will enable a collective and long-term recovery in the Gulf. PDA hopes that you will continue to be a part of this ongoing story of hope and rehabilitation that continues to unfold. What is a Volunteer Village? Volunteer Villages provide a predictable, safe, and sanitary environment for volunteer groups where they can live in community while serving others. The vision of the village is to create community among all the volunteers present in the village each week. Community is created one week at a time, facilitated by a volunteer village manager who is also a volunteer. Each village houses between 90-120 people, so each week there can be as many as six or seven different teams present from churches around the country. Teams are needed to help in the clean-up, recovery, and rebuilding phases — please consider sending a team from your congregation, Rotary club, Elks club, garden club or other civic organization. The minimum age for volunteers in the Gulf Coast is 18. Who pays for the trip? Each group (or church sending the group) bears the costs of their own transportation, lodging, food and incidentals. Most disaster sites make arrangements for lodging at a reduced cost. Most sites like to have groups stay for a week or longer. Options for shorter trips are available on a site by site basis. Each group's responsibilities will vary from site to site and individual site coordinators will be able to give you that information. In general, however, needs for services and skills will vary with each stage of disaster response. The emergency stage (days or weeks following the disaster) involves meeting urgent needs such as helping to establish emergency shelters or feeding stations. The relief phase includes clean up and temporary repairs. This phase can last from one to several months; longer when flooding is involved. The recovery stage deals with permanent repairs and rebuilding. This stage can last from several months to several years. In this phase the biggest need is for skilled teams.

notes: Volunteer Villages, a part of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance's 8-year commitment to the Gulf Coast, create opportunities for volunteers, survivors, and local congregations to work in partnership and cultivate relationships that will enable a collective and long-term recovery in the Gulf. PDA hopes that you will continue to be a part of this ongoing story of hope and rehabilitation that continues to unfold. Teams are needed to help in the clean-up, recovery, and ebuilding phases — please consider sending a team from your congregation, Rotary club, Elks club, garden club or other civic organization. The minimum age for volunteers in the Gulf Coast is 18. Who pays for the trip? Each group (or church sending the group) bears the costs of their own transportation, lodging, food and incidentals. Most disaster sites make arrangements for lodging at a reduced cost. Most sites like to have groups stay for a week or longer. Options for shorter trips are available on a site by site basis. Each group's responsibilities will vary from site to site and individual site coordinators will be able to give you that information. In general, however, needs for services and skills will vary with each stage of disaster response. The emergency stage (days or weeks following the disaster) involves meeting urgent needs such as helping to establish emergency shelters or feeding stations. The relief phase includes clean up and temporary repairs. This phase can last from one to several months; longer when flooding is involved. The recovery stage deals with permanent repairs and rebuilding. This stage can last from several months to several years. In this phase the biggest need is for skilled teams. ============================================================= New York - Northeast flooding Susquehanna Valley Presbytery Presbyterian Volunteer Village 12 Whitney Way Bainbridge, NY Lynn Shepard, (800) 511-0086 Needs: flood clean up and rebuilding More information at the Susquehanna Valley Presbytery Web Site: http://www.susvalpresby.org/ =============================================================== North Carolina - Flooding Western North Carolina In terfaith Disaster Response Wayne Dickson, 828-712-1311 =============================================================== North Dakota - Flooding Spirit Lake Sioux Reservation Bdecan Presbyterian Church 8397 34th Street NE Warwick, ND 58381 Sharon Georgeson, (701) 294-2287 or (701) 294-2005 (after 5 p.m. CST) Needs: home renovations; skilled and unskilled welcome; housing provided with cooking facilities =============================================================== Ohio - 2004 Hurricanes Southeastern Ohio Disaster Relief Network (SEODRN) 226 S.
