North Alabama volunteers to help out with storm damage

Another group heading out to survey the damage is from right here in north alabama!

Our weather team coverage moves to huntsville, where waay 31's ashley carter is live with the precautons volunteers are taking as they get ready for the trip.

Members of the group called prepare and respond told us their team usually consists of 12 to 15 people but only half of them will go because of the pandemic.

The team says once they get there, they'll do anything from helping tarp roofs to cutting trees or helping people find their lost belongings.

They plan to wear masks, social distance the best they can and have their temperatures checked.

One volunteer told us the pandemic wasn't going to stop them from helping those in need.

Danny walker, par volunteer "we've had our fair share of bad storms and the volunteers that came in were such a blessing to us," said walker.

The group usually stays with a host church...and one church in louisiana is requiring volunteers to get a negative coronavirus test before coming to help.

Right now the group is monitoring the weather before they take off.

If their is no damage here in north alabama over the weekend, they will leave on monday.
