The July issue of Lamplight, Episcopal Relief & Development’s disaster program newsletter, is available to read online.

This month, our prayers are with the communities affected by the tornado in North Carolina, flooding across the Northeast, extremely high temperatures and poor air quality. We are in touch with partners, and remain a resource to all who need technical assistance. In this issue of Lamplight, we’re sharing communication tips and tools to prepare in the weeks before major hurricanes typically occur. In all your communication this season, please remember to keep your community in the center by considering language needs, what platforms they use and other factors.

For over 80 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been working together with supporters and partners for lasting change around the world. Each year the organization facilitates healthier, more fulfilling lives for more than 3 million people struggling with hunger, poverty, disaster and disease. Inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, Episcopal Relief & Development leverages the expertise and resources of Anglican and other partners to deliver measurable and sustainable change in three signature program areas: Women, Children and Climate.
