Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief Report

Summary from District Disaster Response Chair:We had over 2000 volunteer hours directly assisting those affected by Helene.
We had 25 District 7570 Rotary volunteers plus 7 friends/family of District 7570 Rotarians, 17 walk up volunteers and 8 DAUSA team leads.
I've been contacted by other county EMA offices in TN that are in our district. I'm working with them and Disaster Aid USA to assess if we will deploy in the next two weeks.
Team Leader Jamie Baisden spent 7 days completing all the research for deployment and location in District 7570, coordinated with emergency management agencies, secured a location to house out of town team members, and worked with the Disaster Aid leadership team on deployment plans.
On Oct 6th Jamie was joined by other Disaster Aid USA team leaders and DART members including Bill Duboyce and Steve Kemp from the Maryland team, Russ Koon from West Virginia, Dave and Jan Roasa, Jim Gillespie, Kristen Roasa, Steve and Gina Schmitt. The deployment base camp was at a church camp outside Greeneville, TN. Many thanks to the President of Greeneville Rotary Noon Club Lucia Fillers and Assistant District Governor Pauline Adams who provided most of the dinners to all staying at base camp.
District Disaster Response Chair Jamie put the word out to the Rotarians of District 7570 requesting Rotarians to volunteer and offering overnight accommodations. As a result, there were over 50 individuals that worked out of the base camp assisting the community.The work included limited chain sawing, clearing personal debris, mucking and gutting, a couple of tarping requests, assisting in distribution centers, and home delivery from distribution center.
In the end the DAUSA deployment provided a total of 2,028.5 hours, at the FEMA independent volunteer value of $33.49 per hour the DAUSA deployment provided an $67,934.47, in economic value.
