Disaster and Faith Communities

Texas has been hit hard by disastrous weather numerous times in recent years, from floods in west and central Texas to hurricanes blowing in from the Gulf. Ever since this country’s foundation, faith-based communities have played a vital role in disaster relief. With the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters in Texas, religious communities will take on a larger burden than ever before.
