MONROE – The members of North Monroe Baptist Church are very familiar with disaster relief responses.
After sending teams to respond to a tornado in Moore, Okla., and Hurricanes Ike and Katrina around the Gulf Coast, its members knew exactly what to do once 25 inches of rain fell within a 24-hour period in their area last month.
The staff set up a makeshift command center, fielding calls from members who ventured out to help sandbag around homes that were nearly flooded and coordinating delivery of food to affected families.
