Adventist Community Service Disaster Response of New York plays an important role in the NYS Donations Management Plan. Disaster Program The following services are provided to disaster victims, their families and communities in cooperation with the other government and voluntary disaster response agencies. Services are provided without regard to any person's race, color, language, age, religion, or gender. 1. Emergency Distribution Centers -- Drinking water, groceries, blankets, personal comfort kits, disposable diapers, cleaning supplies, hand tools, plastic sheeting, felt paper, and clothing are provided to meet the immediate needs of families. Donations of groceries, blankets, clothing and other supplies are accepted from the general public and processed for distribution by ACS volunteers and through cooperating agencies. Relief Centers are often based in community facilities such as a high school gym or church hall. At times distribution is done from mobile units. 2. Warehouse Operations -- Inter-agency "Reception Centers" for truckloads of donated goods are operated by ACS under contracts with state and local governments on behalf of and in collaboration with the other voluntary disaster relief agencies and local service organizations. Volunteers sort donations, log them into a computerized inventory for emergency managers, and re-package them for effective use by local distribution sites. 3. Donations Coordination Center -- Groups, corporations and individuals who want to provide donated goods or volunteers are encouraged to "call ahead" to ascertain the real needs and coordinate safe arrival of needed items and helpful volunteers. ACS works closely with the state emergency management agencies and FEMA when Donations Coordination Teams (DCT) Organizational are convened. It also maintains a backup, national clearinghouse at (800) 381-7171 which operates immediately, 24-hours-a-day in any emergency. 4. Community Collection Centers - ACS works with radio stations, churches, and civic groups to gather donated goods when emergency needs exist. Its national, grass-roots network enables ACS to quickly generate supplies and help when needed. Any interested person, business or group is invited to get involved. 5. Listening Posts and Door-to-Door Visitation -- The emotional and spiritual needs of disaster victims, their relatives and neighbors are addressed by providing opportunities for them to ask questions, chat informally or request prayer and pastoral care. Door-to-door visits are designed to provide useful information about the full range of disaster services and agencies. Listening Posts are established with interfaith groups of pastors and trained lay pastoral workers. 6. Disaster Child Care -- ACS provides trained volunteers who participate in the Disaster Child Care program, an interagency collaborative project that provides temporary day care centers for victims of disasters as they deal with reorganizing their personal affairs. To maintain the security of the children in the program, all volunteers are supervised from one central registration office. Conference Structures: There are two overlapping Adventist Conferences that cover New York State, The New York Conference (which is divided into the Greater New York Territory and the New York Conference), and the Northeastern Conference. Greater New York Conference Territory: New York City and the Counties of Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.
