U.S. Severe Spring Storms and Flooding
The Situation:
This Spring, severe weather and flooding has caused widespread destruction across the United States. Deadly tornadoes have caused severe destruction in many of the southern states, including Alabama and North Carolina. Elsewhere, large portions of the Midwest are facing a continued threat of unprecedented flooding throughout the spring and summer. As the change in seasons continues to bring warmer temperatures across the country, the threat for severe weather is likely to remain high.

The ELCA, through Lutheran Disaster Response, has issued several emergency grants to affiliate organizations around the country. A $10,000 grant was given to Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota to support response efforts in the Red River Valley, which creates the natural border between Minnesota and North Dakota. L will play a key leadership in the unfolding response on both sides of the river. A $10,000 grant was also given to Lutheran Services in Tennessee to support the efforts of volunteers throughout the Southeastern Synod (Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee). Additional support for long-term recovery is planned also for Missouri, Illinois, and North Carolina. All of these grants will support and serve the long-term needs of individuals, families, and communities affected by these storms.
