Rescue Task Force (RTF) and World Emergency Relief (WER) are responding to the 7.1 earthquake that struck Honduras at 2:20 AM this morning.

Team Leader Andrea Stone will depart from Los Angeles tonight and fly to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras where she will meet with RTF team member Jim McNeely, coming from Atlanta. Upon arrival they will meet with our Honduras coordinator, Dr. Claudio Casas who is assembling a local team of Honduran doctors and volunteers – veterans of many RTF jungle missions.

The orphanage that WER-CA sponsors has sustained heavy damage to the dormitory. Thirty-six of our orphans have been moved into the office and the dining area.

Jose our local warehouseman’s home was destroyed. He, his wife and baby are the first of probably many to move into our WER warehouse.

Mission Details to follow as the day progresses. We are in contact with colleagues at the Fire Department in Honduras and the combined team will be coordinating our disaster relief activities with them for help to isolated areas that the Fire department will not be able to immediately assist.

Note to Supporters:
