In August, 2002, Europe experienced record-setting flooding along its major rivers.
Volunteer Ministers from Czech Republic and other parts of Europe were among the first on site to safeguard the city of Prague, Czech Republic, from these floods. Twenty-five Volunteer Ministers worked with the towns hardest hit by the floods, building sand bags and organizing assistance for people evacuated from their homes. An additional 35 Volunteer Ministers delivered assists (simple procedures that help an individual recover from shock, grief, pain and exhaustion) to those most affected and disoriented. The Volunteer Ministers helped bring order back to the city and delivered Scientology assists to rescue workers.
