The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is taking actions to support emergency relief and in Haiti. The United Methodist relief agency is already making plans to send teams, material resources and funding to Haiti as soon as possible.

"UMCOR has always had a strong presence in Haiti," Tom Hazelwood, a UMOCR executive said. "With this tragedy, we'll just be redoubling our efforts, and we'll be calling on people across the country to help us."

The quake is believed to be the worst to hit the region in about 200 years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by two aftershocks, measuring 5.9 and 5.5 on the Richter scale.

At least 1.8 million people live in the area where the quake was most intense, a geophysicist with the USGS told The Wall Street Journal. 

President Barack Obama said he was praying for the people of Haiti and the United States stands ready to assist them. 
United Methodists have had a long-standing relationship with Haiti through the Methodist Church of Haiti. The strong ties between the Methodist Church of Haiti and The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) helped in facilitating the opening of the UMCOR Haiti field office in 2005. (UMNS 1-13)
