Press Releases
On Saturday, May 4th, a tornado with winds in excess of 200 mph devastated the southern Kansas town of Greensburg, killing at
least eight and injuring dozens more. This tornado was part of a storm system that dumped massive amounts of rain and spawned
tornados across the Great Plains. The Greensburg tornado, classified EF-5 (the National Weather Service’s most intense
rating), was nearly two miles in diameter and remained on the ground for twenty-two miles, destroying nearly 95% of the town.
Dodge City (KS) Church of the Nazarene has begun coordinating Nazarene Disaster Response efforts for victims of this
tragedy. As search and rescue operations came to a close Monday and clean-up operations began, NDR volunteers from Dodge City
were on hand with emergency supplies. The church needs your help as it responds to this disaster. The strength of the NDR network is the vast family of congregations throughout the world who mobilize to share the love of Christ to their neighbors in time of need.
Updated information will follow on www.ndrusa.org as the recovery effort continues.
Persons and churches wishing to make a donation to assist in clean-up and recovery can mark their checks “Greensburg, KS Tornado ACM1853”
