Easter tornadoes

During the weekend of Easter 2020, several southeastern states experienced severe storms and tornadoes. Throughout the two-day outbreak, a total of 140 tornadoes touched down across 10 states, inflicting widespread and locally catastrophic damage. We mourn the lives lost and lift up the communities responding to these tornadoes while also dealing with the restrictions of COVID-19.

PDA has virtually deployed National Response Team members to support the response while also granting funds. We continue to be in touch with the affected presbyteries about long term recovery needs.
