District 5790 Disaster Relief Response

Your District 5790 Disaster Relief team, in its first deployment, responded to Pilot Point last week to help in the aftermath of the recent tornado outbreak. This experience has been a valuable learning opportunity, equipping us with insights about the deployment process, communication protocols, and inventory/volunteer management, ensuring our preparedness for future disasters.

 

Twenty-seven volunteers worked almost 175 hours on behalf of the district. Our friends at the Lake Ray Roberts Rotary Club appreciated our efforts, and the citizens of Pilot Point were very grateful for our assistance. Each household we helped heard about Rotary and their local club presence when possible and received a business card with QR codes to donate and/or volunteer with our district.

 

Here's the link to see the Fox 4 Newscast of us at work:

 

We used our equipment and supplies as expected, and if you can help us resupply the Disaster Relief trailer with the items on this Amazon list, we can deploy without delay to the next disaster. It includes expendable supplies starting at $9.99 and a few pieces of equipment to make future deployments more efficient.

 

 

Thanks so much for your time,
