Our Work

Our team completed assessments and identified a need within our scope of work in Carl Junction, Missouri. We’re conducting a Rapid Response, including skilled chainsaw work and debris removal, with our field team of experienced volunteers.

Additionally, we’re continuing to monitor the flooding in Oklahoma as mandatory evacuations and water rescues are ongoing. The situation remains fluid and unclear at the moment; the DART team is on standby with the state to see how we can best support as the immediate needs are currently being addressed for the safety of the community.
