<p>The Salvation Army of Eastern Pennsylvania &amp; Delaware’s Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) is preparing for deployment to Texas to aid in the disaster response and relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. With the widespread impact of the disaster already being felt and what could be an unprecedented relief effort, The Salvation Army’s Divisional EDS Department is readying a team of staff and volunteers to respond to Texas. <span id="more-892"></span></p>

<p>A retired Salvation Army officer from Sussex County, Delaware, will fly to Texas on Wednesday, August 30, to provide emotional and spiritual support. Additional Salvation Army officers, who are trained pastors, may also deploy on Wednesday. The first wave of personnel will go to a command center in Corpus Christi, Texas. Once there, they may meet with storm victims who are staying in temporary shelters or they may be dispatched to the hardest hit coastal communities such as Rockport, Texas. This will be a 14-day deployment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another round of volunteers from Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware will likely head to Texas in two weeks, to provide food, shelter and emotional and spiritual care to those impacted by this ongoing devastating weather event.</p>
<p>“Our EDS staff and volunteers are prepared and committed to work around the clock for as long as they are needed,” said Bob Myers, Director of Emergency Disaster Services, The Salvation Army of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware Division.</p>

<p>Myers and his team are in constant contact with Salvation Army representatives on the ground in Texas for updates on needs for manpower and other resources.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We anticipate that the next few weeks and months have the potential to see many Salvation Army personnel engaged from across the country in disaster response and recovery efforts,” he added.</p>
<p>“This devastating storm has already had a major impact on millions of people in Texas and Louisiana, and as it continues, there are still more people in its path,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Banfield, Chief Executive Officer and Divisional Commander of the Salvation Army Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware Division. “Ongoing prayers are not only welcome, but needed for all of those affected by and assisting with response to Hurricane Harvey.”</p>
<h2><u>How People Can Help</u></h2>
<p>Response efforts to this hurricane and flooding are expected be costly and last for years. The best way to help after a disaster is to make a financial donation.</p>
