D. We talked about the possibility of encouraging all coastal United Methodist Churches in the South GA Conference to find a sister host church inland (at least 60 miles) to be a "Hurricane Evacuation Partner Congregation." Those people who have no particular destination to head to in case of an "ordered evacuation."
E. We did not set another meeting date. But we are subject to an emergency planning meeting anytime during the "Hurricane Season."
F. It was a good "team" meeting and an opportunity to get acquainted.
