California Mudslide Kills Ten
1/18/2005

A massive mudslide killed ten people in the California coastal community of La Conchita, a result of deadly storms that caused millions of dollars of damage to homes and roads throughout the West.  Of the 150 homes in the community, fifteen were destroyed in the mudslide and at least sixteen damaged.  Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger visited La Conchita, and declared a state of emergency.

Episcopal Relief and Development is in contact with the local Diocese.  We will continue to monitor the situation and stand ready to respond and provide emergency assistance as needed. Please continue to pray for families affected by the disaster.
