UPDATE
Before major recovery work can begin in any disaster, the damage must be assessed. We have Assessor teams active in Ft. Smith, going from home to home in affected areas to determine how many volunteers will be needed at each. The Ft. Smith Incident Command has been operational for two days now.
Chaplain teams are also active, ministering to people displaced or going through hardship because of the flooding.
