I have a old house on blocks.

Tin for the front and back porches.

Houston has so changed since Allison.

We have been town housed to death.

We will flood.

I bet I-10 floods again.

Children's Disaster Services provides care and emotional support for children and families impacted by disaster. This is accomplished by training and screening volunteers to specialize in working with traumatized children using toys that stimulate imaginative play while consulting with parents about their child’s unique needs. Children's Disaster Services is a program of Church of the Brethren Disaster Ministries.
