Dear HFI Reservist,

This past Sunday was a very tragic day for many people in southern Alabama as tornadoes ripped through the rural community of Beauregard. Many lives were lost, and others were injured. 

In the aftermath, HFI has sent a preliminary assessment team of seasoned responders who have already been able to meet the needs of a few survivors.  It is becoming clear that there is a need for more HFI Reservists to mount a broader response. We are gearing up for a team to arrive this weekend, or possibly Monday.  Our team has been initially working in the Smiths Station, Alabama area.

Stand by for further updates as information comes available. Please continue to pray for survivors, first responders and governmental leaders.

Thank you…and know we are grateful for you!

Jack & Cherie Minton, Founders
