ACS DR is responding to the tornado outbreak in the Granbury and Cleburne, TX area. There were ten tornadoes that affected the area, some up to F4 category. ACS DR volunteers are delivering water and other emergency supplies to a rural trailer park where hundreds of people lived. Along with the devastation from the tornado, their water supply was compromised. A Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) from the Arlington Church is en route to assist in whatever way they are able.
We are standing ready with the Mobile Distribution Unit, a semi-truck that contains pre-packaged clothing outfits, personal care kits, and blankets, ready to serve as needs are identified. ~Sherry Watts
