CAP plans to keep volunteers in the Ocean Springs area for at least eight weeks with groups of forty rotating each week. Each CAP team will include a certified counselor, team leaders, spiritual leaders and skilled laborers. In addition to work at the shelter, crews will outreach into communities with few resources and financial means. Crews will load pickups and deliver supplies to victims who can’t get out, and will help homeowners clean up mud and tear out wet drywall to stop the growth of mold in their houses. CAP is also accepting community members who want to volunteer.

CAP is working in the gulf area of Mississippi in conjunction with the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management and is authorized by FEMA to provide relief in the area. CAP is one of eight organizations in Kentucky listed with the KDEM as disaster responders. Through its Operation Relief Program, CAP has responded to disasters since 1980. Operation Relief’s mission is to deliver hope to victims of natural disasters.
