Hurricane Irene 2011
SITUATION REPORT- UPDATE
RESPONSE FOR: Hurricane Irene
GENERAL INFORMATION
Coastal portions of the Southeast U.S. remain in a high threat. This threat level will likely change as forecast confidence increases both in the track and intensity. The greatest probability of a U.S. landfall is in the Carolinas during the Friday night through Saturday time frame, possibly as a major hurricane.
Keep in mind, the average forecast track errors 4-5 days out are between 200 and 250 miles! The threat level in Northeast U.S. is low to medium for now and will likely change depending on the exact track and intensity of Irene. Timing for any potential Northeast U.S. impacts would be this weekend into perhaps Monday of next week.
PURPOSE
To notify all volunteers with The Harvest Connection Disaster Relief Ministry to be prepared for immediate deployment for assisting those who may be impacted by this storm.
BE REMINDED
Many of our churches and families of our constituency will be in the path of the oncoming storm that is if Irene continues on the projected path. Please look at all announcements, alerts and information should evacuation be issued. Some of our churches could be called to set up a shelter or whatever else may be necessary to assist our own people as well as others through this disaster recovery.
Thank you in advance for your willingness to help us to TOUCH LIVES FOR A LIFETIME. Updates will be sent as the situation continues to develop.
