Emergency response is practiced long before it’s needed.

EMA regularly runs:

On May 6, multiple tornadoes flattened homes across central and southern Mississippi. The storms caused widespread power outages, downed trees, and blocked roads.
Convoy of Hope has already distributed 123,000 pounds of supplies to over 6,000 people and stands ready to send any additional resources they may need. Our team has handed out totes, cleaning supplies, hygiene kits, food, water, and other emergency relief items to affected communities — and the work continues.
