"A severe weather system that rampaged through the South on Saturday spawned powerful tornadoes in Tennessee, leaving six people dead and more than 20 injured, buildings in tatters and trees and power lines toppled, officials said.

By early Sunday, the hardest hit places appeared to be the northern part of Nashville and Clarksville, in northern Tennessee, where officials reported severe and extensive damage. Emergency crews continued searching for survivors and assessing the extent of the devastation left by the storm, as officials suggested the death toll might rise. More than 52,000 customers were without power in Tennessee." - from the New York Times

Crisis Relief and Recovery is preparing a team to deploy in the wake of these storms, to help families recover more quickly and bring some help during the Christmas season. Your donation will support this mission, the distribution of humanitarian aid, and the clean up of debris and recover of personal belongings. In the event that the mission is scrubbed, any donated funds will go to partners in the region.

Our teams go where most will not, do the hard jobs, and use a combination of experienced experts and trained volunteers to lead and impact communities during and after a disaster. We believe in long-term solutions rather than hit-and-run, which means we strive to leave a place better than before the disaster struck.
