CWS continues to work tirelessly in response to hurricanes Charley, Frances,
Ivan, and Jeanne - the summer 2004 storms that caused more than 130
fatalities in the United States, damaged more than 100,000 homes, and displaced
tens of thousands. Tim Johnson (left) and other CWS Disaster Response &
Recovery Liaisons are assisting faith community leaders, local and state
voluntary agencies, and government-based disaster personnel in Florida,
Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West Virginia, and
Puerto Rico. Their combined efforts are helping in the formation and work
of some 50 long-term recovery groups, which help low-income residents and
others with special needs.
