Salvation Army on Standby As First Hurricane Approaches
Released 26 August 2011
Portland, Maine (August 26, 2011) - As Hurricane Irene approaches the Northeastern United States as the first hurricane of the 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season, The Salvation Army is preparing Salvation Army officers and staff, emergency disaster vehicle canteens and supplies to serve as needed.
The Salvation Army will provide food, drinks and spiritual and emotional care to emergency responders and community members should Irene produce severe storms and damage in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Major James LaBossiere, Divisional Commander of the Northern New England Division shares, " The Salvation Army has placed all of our officers and Emergency Disaster Services volunteers on alert so that services can be provided where and when needed across the region".
Salvation Army emergency canteens will be on call and deployed if needed. The canteens are based at the following locations:
* Bangor, ME
* Lewiston, ME
* Sanford/Old Orchard Beach, ME
* Derry, NH
* Nashua, NH
* Burlington, VT
Salvation Army canteens are fully equipment with a kitchen so that they may provide meals. Canteens also carry additional resources, including water, snacks, work gloves, hygiene products and clean up kits. In the wake of tragedy, the canteen is often the first sign that The Salvation Army is on scene and delivering disaster assistance.
