Hurricane - Disaster Team
Parish Care’s Hurricane/Disaster (H/D) Team is active during hurricane season, June-November. If a devastating hurricane with damaging winds is predicted and evacuation recommended, H/D volunteers take immediate action. They contact their assigned parishioners to learn who plans to evacuate and who plans to remain in their homes. After the hurricane has passed, a second contact is made to determine if these parishioners are safe or have had major damage and need assistance.
The Storm Sidekicks program is available for those folks who wish to caravan with others planning to evacuate. Information about pet friendly accommodations and their locations is available as well.
If you are new to Church of the Servant and wish to be contacted by the H/D Team, receive more information about the Storm Sidekicks or assist with clean up after a hurricane, notify the Parish Administrator at [email protected] or 910-395-0616. Participation is strongly encouraged.
Your best plan is to be prepared well in advance of a storm and know where you will go in the event of an evacuation order. If you remain in your home, you should have enough water and food for family and pets and are prepared to be without power for 1-2 weeks.
