UMCOR Japan Update

Please do not send materials of any kind. Sending blankets, flood, clothing, etc. is clogging the Japanese distribution system. Please send money to UMCOR or to the International Red Cross.

UMCOR is working in Japan in three ways:

1. UMCOR has partnered with the United Church of Christ in Japan (UCCJ).

2. UMCOR has partnered with GlobalMedic. Global Medic provides 3 services: a Rescue Team with specialized dog units, an inflatable field hospital, and water purification units.

3. UMCOR has partnered with Peace Winds Japan to distribute blankets, food and water.

The people of Japan need our help.

Earthquake in Japan

In response to the earthquake on March 10,
2011 that struck Japan, the United Methodist
Committee on Relief (UMCOR) will be working
with local communities to rebuild. UMCOR is
now better able to help when earthquakes and
tsunamis or other disasters hit an area. UMCOR
works in shelter and infrastructure
reconstruction, water and sanitation, income
generation, health and nutrition, education and
community development.
