The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

How has the Church responded?

Church Welfare Services personnel are in the area and are assessing the disaster and the most needed supplies. The Church has food and emergency supplies positioned in five local bishops' storehouses. In addition, truckloads of food, water, clothing, hygiene items, tents, tarps, and other items have been shipped to affected areas.


How can I help?

All are encouraged to pray for those who suffer as well as for those providing relief. Funds may be provided to the Church to support relief efforts by:

• Mailing a check to:
