Emergency/Early Response Team Coordinator:
Darrell Perkins
In the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, fire, flood, military
invasion, terrorist activity, etc threatening the stability of the area of the
California-Nevada Annual Conference, the UMVIM Coordinator will make way to the
Conference Center Office, if at all possible, in an effort to keep the
communications operable. In the
event that West Sacramento is involved in the disaster to the point where the
Annual Conference office is not accessible, or safe to access, the Annual
Conference center and base of emergency communication will shift to First United
Methodist Church – Lodi (209-368-5357).
Disaster and Emergency Response is seen as a collaborative effort between
the offices of Disaster Response, UMVIM, Emergency/Early Response, and in
consultation with the Bishop and the Director of Connectional Ministry.
