Emergency Response Team(ERT)
The ERT consists of members from NLRFUMC and other local churches. It fills a specific need in the early days after a disaster to clean out flood-damaged homes, remove debris, place tarps on homes, and otherwise help to prevent further damage, while providing a caring Christian presence. The ERT generally assists in disasters that happen close to the North Little Rock area, but are not limited to that.
