NECHAMA has a disaster response team en route to Oklahoma where a massive EF-4 tornado ripped through residential areas South of Oklahoma City Monday afternoon.

NECHAMA is gathering information from contacts on the ground so we are ready if and when our volunteer management and cleanup assistance is needed.

Since late last week NECHAMA’s Dan Hoeft and Mark McGilvery have been on the ground in Illinois assessing the situation from the most recent floods that have affected several Midwestern states.

After surveying the damage in several areas, NECHAMA set up shop and immediately began mucking out homes in Marseilles, IL.

We are currently seeking a qualified Field Team Leader to supervise volunteers on site for our Hurricane Sandy Recovery Program.

They will ensure proper material installation and volunteer safety while providing continuity at the worksite.
