Following the recent
tornado in Windsor, Colorado, The Colorado Churches of
Scientology
Disaster Response (CSDR), members of
the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD),
traveled to the town to assist the residents recover from a
disaster that destroyed nearly 600 homes.
The team provided water, ice and
food
to over a thousand residents and relief
workers in the devastated area, and hosted an interfaith community
cook-out that fed 350 residents on what would ordinarily have been
the town's celebration of Memorial Day weekend.
The team was comprised of Scientology Volunteer Ministers, some of
whom are C.E.R.T. (Citizen Emergency Response Training) trained
or
have assisted in other U.S. disasters including the Greensburg,
Kansas tornado and Hurricane Katrina. They also provided
"Assists"--simple techniques developed by Scientology founder L.
Ron Hubbard, to help people recover from loss and trauma.
For more than twenty-five years Scientology Volunteer Ministers
have brought relief to those devastated by earthquakes, tornados,
floods, hurricanes and wild fires. They also offer training to
individuals and groups in the techniques they use, based on the
Scientology Handbook. These techniques have earned the Volunteer
Ministers a reputation for restoring calm and helping individuals
recover from shock and loss.
