UMCOR is prepared long before a disaster strikes—and the 2008 hurricane season is no exception. In each annual conference disaster response personnel are trained and ready to respond in the case of a local disaster.

This ensures that someone in close proximity to an affected community is able to be there quickly and to oversee what can often be an extended period of recovery. In the case of a major disaster UMCOR provides consultants and grants to help the annual conference for their disaster response ministry which will be ongoing for years to come. UMCOR also ensures relief supplies are available in the UMCOR Sager Brown Depot in Baldwin Louisiana and in pre-positioned sites across the US.

The United Methodist Committee on Relief's staff were on the ground working with people and areas affected by Hurricane Gustav by Wednesday Sept 3rd
