Christian Appalachian Project Activates Disaster Relief to Aid People Impacted by Flooding
Safety and wellbeing of the communities served by CAP is top priority
Christian Appalachian Project’s (CAP) Disaster Relief has worked to address a variety of weather-related emergencies in Eastern Kentucky. Flooding throughout Central and Eastern Kentucky over a 24-hour period has left communities dealing with another crisis.
“Staff and volunteers partnered with the community to set up a warming shelter two weeks ago after an ice storm hit the area and were in the process of cleaning up debris when the floods happened,” said Robyn Renner, CAP’s director of Disaster Relief. “The community was trying to recover from the first storm. Our program has learned to be flexible to meet the needs of the community as they arise.”
