At their May 17 meeting, the Presbytery of Florida commemorated the 20th anniversary of Florida Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Network (FLAPDAN), welcoming FLAPDAN Executive Director Kathy Broyard as a special guest. The Presbytery is one of six in Florida in covenant agreement with FLAPDAN and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), enabling them to be prepared to respond to traumatic events within their bounds during times of disaster.
As part of the celebration, the meeting attendees formed a “bucket brigade” to assemble disaster cleanup supplies in orange buckets for stockpiling at the Presbytery’s Dogwood Acres Retreat Center and Summer Camp (see more pictures on our Instagram page at: https://www.instagram.com/synodsouthatlantic). In addition to storing the buckets for future needs within the hurricane-prone region, Dogwood Acres also is prepared to house relief workers and utility personnel as needed after a disaster.
