C. Lesson Learned.

1. In anticipation of Hurricanes and disasters there is a need to have, on stand by, supplies for the initial phase of help that includes: baby food, diapers, bottled water, cleaning supplies (to include bleach, brooms, mops and buckets)

2. During disaster seasons‑ each Conference DRUSA needs to contact the churches of his conference and get a commitment from those that will support.. if called... and the type of support they will offer, e.g. debris clean up, MFK  support, construction, mud outs etc. The DRUSA at the RDC will alert Conference DRUSAs  of this time frame... in the future.
