Noah, where's the Ark?

The rains have come with a vengeance, and unfortunately have not been too kind to some of our neighbors!  Many of you have called asking what you can do to help.  We are here for you, but we need to know who you are!  We also need more volunteers!


We've got two great groups--the Crieve Hall Cares Committee and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).  You may have read about this on the CHNA website:
If you want to prepare your family for all kinds of disasters consider taking the Family Disaster Training classes taught by the Nashville Mayor's Office of Emergency Management. It's FREE. Next classes start July 22.  You may read full details on the classes and what you will learn here.

The CHC Committee is working together with the Crieve Hall CERT teams to make sure we are here for the neighborhood.

Here are things we may need to help flood victims:
  • Sump Pumps
  • Shop Vacs
  • Towels/Shams
  • Fans
  • Water
  • Food

The CERT team is trained to help in times of crisis, but they need to know who needs help!  The CHC Committee will be here to help with the aftermath--to help families clean up the messes and get their lives back in order.

If you are interested in helping others in the neighborhood, know of someone who needs help, or need help yourself, please contact one of the volunteers below.  We can help:
  • Clean Yards/haul off debris
  • Helping to clean home/reorganize
  • Carry off trash
  • Supplying food/water 
  • Plus whatever else you may need
