Jody Herrington
Director, Operation Blessing U.S. Disaster Relief
Dear Emergency Managers and Partners,
Operation Blessing is known for our quick response,
compassion, and our ability to meet unique needs of a
community during devastating and catastrophic times of disaster. We have an “ask and
don’t tell policy.” Our goal is to come into a community and ask, “How can we serve
you? What is your greatest need?” Out of these responses world-wide our U.S. &
International Disaster Relief Services have grown tremendously.
In the U.S., we have several areas of core competencies that include:
• Coordinating Volunteers & Setting Up Volunteer Base Camp Infreastructure
• Transportation: Fleet of 19 Tractors and 64 Trailers
• Volunteer Strike Teams including Medical, Dental, Heavy Equipment, Food
Management and Crane Strike Teams
• Medical & Dental Clinics
• Cash Grant Program (These funds vary in amounts and raised per disaster)
This directory was designed with you in mind. We wanted to give you a catalog that
showcases our resources and the kinds of equipment we can provide to your community
during times of disaster.
When we come into a community we want you as Emergency Managers to know we are
there to serve with you and your team. In addition to working with local emergency
management, we work alongside of local churches. We feel that the “locals” know the
needs of their people better than we do as outsiders. Our goal is to empower the local
churches to meet the needs of the community through resources, supplies, and
sometimes cash grants. If we have done our job right, your churches and community
will be stronger than they were before we met.
Please do not ever hesitate to call my staff or me if we can assist you in any way.
Sincerely,
Jody L. Herrington

these showering and laundering services.

Shower Skid Units
Class: A
Year: 2005
Weight: 7,000 lbs.
License Required: CDL Class A
Staged Locations: Ocala, FL (1) and

• Two 30 gallon LPG hot water tanks (requires LPG)
• Equipped with Small wall mounted heaters
• 8 Showers (4 Male/4 Female) and 6 Sinks (3 Male/3 Female) installed
• Must be transported by a flatbed or low boy trailer
The two shower skid units are not necessarily considered first response
units. Each skid unit has to be transported by Semi trailer and are thus
used for longer term response/recovery.
Available shower space and multiple sinks make these shower skid units
ideal for use with large volunteer groups for long periods.
The wall mounted heaters make them seasonal in case they need to
be staged for long periods of time in a disaster recovery effort.
