\u201cThe initial response phase has not yet ended,\u201d CWS warns member churches, citing the fact that the full effects of the giant storm may not yet be realized in hard hit places like New Jersey and New York, and that there is extensive damage in other states as well. In North Carolina, for example, some 400 homes were flooded. In West Virginia, where homes were destroyed by roofs collapsing under more than 24 inches of snow, additional flooding is expected from snowmelt.<\/p>\n

CWS is seeking donations to restock of all of its kit types. Lists of contents and instructions are at www.churchworldservice.org\/kits<\/a> .<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
