November 10, 2009

The Salvation Army throughout the Panhandle made preparations to respond in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Ida.

Four Salvation Army mobile feeding units are standing by from Pensacola to Tallahassee to respond. These units can feed up to 3,000 meals if necessary and will be able to move quickly into areas affected by the storm. In addition, Salvation Army response teams throughout the state are also ready to respond if needed.

The Salvation Army’s State Director of Emergency Disaster Services, Kevin Smith says “We are ready to assist those affected by this storm no matter what the magnitude or impact it might have on the residents of the Panhandle. Even though the storm has been downgraded at this time, no one can ever predict what kind of an affect this type of storm will have on an area until it makes landfall”.

The Salvation Army is committed to partnering with all levels of government in order to be more efficient in its disaster response, providing collaborative response with all agencies assisting in response effort.
