 Please make sure your equipment and trailers are ready, bearings greased, good tires, over 4 years old are not recommended, look at the date stamp the last two digits is the date. Run your generators, pumps and chain saws. Feeding teams began calling each other, as well as chaplains/assessors.
I cannot say when or what will be needed but we need to be prepared.  COVID 19 policy will be follow CDC guide lines,  be prepared to be flexible and Christ like with our hearts and the people we might be asked to work with.
