The ICOC Disaster Response protocol has four possible recommendations for a disaster\/emergency:\n<ul>\n<li>no response (disaster does not warrant response from us or there is no HOPEww or church entity in the disaster area which hinders our ability to respond),<\/li>\n<li>congregational response (needs can be met by a single church or HOPEww entity),<\/li>\n<li>regional response (magnitude of the disaster requires a plea for help from multiple churches in the region),<\/li>\n<li>global response (magnitude of the disaster requires a plea for help from all of the churches in our fellowship).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Report to chairmen\u2019s committee and get approval for the response request from our churches.<\/li>\n<li>Communicate the request through Disciples Today, ICOC HotNews, churches, social media, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Recently the first case came before the committee involving the floods in Peru.

The damage in Peru consist of two disciple\u2019s homes damaged by floods and others who experienced minor damage.
