Pacific Emergency

The United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) is a worldwide organization that provides (among many services) emergency response to such disasters as the earthquake in Japan that struck on March 10, 2011.

UMCOR is often the first on the scene – far ahead of governmental aid.  The following is from their website:

UMCOR is connecting with our partners to assess the damage resulting from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. We are holding all affected in prayer. To support UMCOR’s response to emergencies like this please give to Pacific Emergency, UMCOR Advance #3021317.

“In response to the Earthquake on March 10, 2011 that struck Japan, The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) will be working with local communities to rebuild. UMCOR is now better able to help when earthquakes and tsunamis or other disasters hit the area. UMCOR works in shelter and infrastructure reconstruction, water and sanitation, income generation, health and nutrition, education and community development.”
