Hurricane Matthew’s Massive Magnitude


CitiIMPACT is preparing a multi-state and country response and recovery effort as the current forecast is calling for Cat 4 storm to hit the Florida space coast hard and continue to wreak havoc up FL and through GA and SC coastline with other states potentially experiencing damage as well. We pray that the course and intensity change, yet prepare for the worst; as we hope you are if in the path. Be safe. It’s likely that some homes will experience significant damage from this storm. Many homeowners will have their rooves damaged and will have to call on a roofing Company Colorado Springs or another similar company to repair them. Others will receive flooding damage as well as broken doors, windows and potential wall collapse, therefore it’s important to prepare as best as one can. Perhaps some homeowners would like to get in touch with a company like JAE Construction (go now to their website). They will be able to ensure that homes are strong and secure, giving them a better chance in the storm. Hopefully, that will minimize damage.

Supplies already on the ground in Haiti as they are currently dealing with the aftermath of Matthew. Humanitarian crisis on top of tragedy for this poverty stricken nation where over 60,000 were still in tents from the earthquake in 2010.

  • PREPARE:
    CitiIMPACT has made contact with partner churches and organizations from Miami to Myrtle Beach. We have sites lined up for distribution, warehouses, the staging of teams, and cooking sites. We need more, as this area is so expansive and the exact areas of highest impact unknown. Who do you know? Get us connected, please. It’s best to do this before the storm hits as phone and electricity will likely be down for days in places.
  • SEND:
    Obviously, we need your financial support in all disasters. But especially one of this magnitude. Please GIVE. You can text IMPACT to 444999 for easy tax-deductible donation. Go online, or mail a check to : PO BOX 605 Davidson NC 28036. Inform your churches, businesses, and friends. Remember, through CitiIMPACT we multiply your cash donations over 50 times. We also need more gifts-in-kind donations. Prefer new, palletized donations in semi-load increments of water, food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, building supplies, etc. Again, do not send used clothing.
  • GO:
    Let us know if you can bring a first response team. Initially, only adults who can take care of themselves in terms of food and shelter. Once volunteer housing is open we will broaden our criteria. Just keep us posted with numbers in your team, skills, and availability. Do not self deploy.

Join us in Prayer for the millions in Matthew’s track.

Sincerely,

CitiIMPACT team
