North Carolina disaster relief volunteers are setting up a mobile disaster hospital in tornado-ravaged Louisville, Miss., according to an article on the BRNow website.
The temporary mobile hospital is expected to serve the area for a year or more. This was the first time the team had actually assembled the hospital at the site of a disaster.
After an April 29 tornado left 10 dead, a hospital serving the more than 19,000 county residents in this rural area was left in ruins — but a large flat concrete foundation was left.
While a ramp to the concrete slab was built, the North Carolina volunteers assembled five hard-sided temporary, air-conditioned buildings to house segments of the Mississippi emergency response staff and the emergency medical service personnel.
