Central PA Counties affected by Tropical Storm Debbie

There have been many homes in our conference that have been damaged by TS Debby. As of Friday, September 13, 2024, the number is around 140 homes that have qualified as needing major repair or destroyed. This amount of destitution has caused FEMA to issue a Declaration of Individual Assistance to Tioga, Potter, Lycoming, and Union County. We continue to give our support to those areas. If you are in those areas and need assistance, you should call 211. There will also be five Disaster Recovery Centers that will be scheduled to be of assistance. Once those locations, dates, and times are released, I will provide those to you. If you have the desire and skills to help with this recovery, please contact me at drc@susumc.org or 717-766-5376.
