Notes

FROM THE SITE (LTEL 9/17/12)

Convoy of Hope continues its disaster response efforts in Louisiana
in the wake of Hurricane Isaac.

“We’ve worked with federal, state and local officials and responded
to more than 12,000 families affected by the storm,” says Karen
Benson, global disaster response director for Convoy of Hope.
“We’ll have a presence in the area as long as we’re needed.”

The Global Disaster Response (GDR) teams worked closely with the
Louisiana National Guard at a mobile distribution point in
Slidell, La. “The troops said our operation in Slidell was
one of the best they had seen from an operational standpoint,”
says Nick Weirsma, one of Convoy of Hope’s first responders.

The GDR teams facilitated the entire distribution operation in
Slidell, while the National Guard provided security and manpower.

Convoy of Hope is also working with other organizations to
distribute loads of product to food banks from Baton Rouge
to New Orleans.
