notes: The Rev. Myron Wingfield, district superintendent in San Diego, has formed an ad hoc fire recovery team "to provide a comprehensive, coordinated, collaborative and long-range plan" for response. UMCOR will partner with Metro United Urban Methodist Ministries in San Diego, which has worked with the relief agency to assist Hurricane Katrina victims who had relocated there. Led by John Hughes, Metro provides direct social services, supports community development and helps local churches working with people in their neighborhoods. The attention to secondary victims will be similar to the United Methodist response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which economically impacted workers in or near New York's Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Those affected by the fires include migrant workers on the region’s vegetable farms. "Many of those farms were damaged or ruined because of the fires," Hazelwood explained, adding that other farms shut down during the crisis. "It’s going to have an impact on the social service community." In addition to assisting farm workers, he expects UMCOR will provide case management for some families whose homes were destroyed. "I don’t know what the spiritual and emotional impact will be and what resources we need to provide for that as well," he said. According to a column by Amanda Martinez in The Nation, the relief and evacuation efforts missed many undocumented workers in the San Diego area, leading the Mexican Consulate, in partnership with advocacy groups, to provide relief efforts. The Regional Task Force on the Homeless in San Diego estimates more than 1,600 agricultural workers and day laborers live in makeshift settlements in the area. The number of farms in San Diego County ranks second in the nation, the task force said. =================================================== Services: Faith, Community, and Leadership Development Metro seeks to not only provide the example of professional practice in faith-basedwork, but also seeks to promote the development of local congregations in their efforts to bridge the neighborhood gap between churches and communities.
