RE:Salvation Army's SATERN participating in Indiana flood response (Sep
4, 2003)

Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) members are
supporting The Salvation Army's response in central Indiana this week
after torrential rains caused widespread flooding. "For the second time
this year the streets of Marion and Hendricks counties were flooded as
water flowed in from every direction," said SATERN National Coordinator
Pat McPherson, WW9E. McPherson said Peggy McNary, N9QT, and her SATERN
team from Central Indiana were supporting the operation with Amateur
Radio communication. He reports that since September 1, The Salvation
Army has served nearly 1000 meals to flood-affected residents and
National Guard troops assisting in the relief work. The Salvation Army
also has been providing shelter for displaced residents and distributing
clean-up kits. Three Salvation Army canteens are serving meals
throughout the Indianapolis area.
