The Salvation Army in the USA is continuing with its emergency relief response to states hit by deadly tornadoes last week.

"Our hearts go out to those affected by the recent flurry of tornadoes. The Salvation Army has responded to each of the areas and will provide whatever relief we can to those who have been touched by this disaster," said Major John Jones, who oversees The Salvation Army's work in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

In Linn County, Kansas, The Salvation Army sent out an assessment to gauge the scale of needs after a fatal tornado destroyed numerous homes and killed a seven-year-old girl.

Emergency responders and residents in Henry County, Montana, received a welcome boost from The Salvation Army after a tornado touched down in the county.

But the greatest toll came when a storm ripped through a high school in Enterprise, Alabama, killing eight students sheltering in the building. Salvation Army emergency disaster services teams have since been deployed in the area, providing warm meals and support to residents as well as emergency responders dealing with the aftermath.

Major Darryl Kingsbury, a Salvation Army officer, is currently stationed at the Alabama State Emergency Management Center to provide additional support and coordinate Salvation Army efforts throughout Alabama.

The Salvation Army continues to bring aid to people affected by the F3 tornado that struck Dumas, Arkansas, at the end of February destroying business and homes. Three Salvation Army emergency disaster services vehicles, or canteens, were deployed to the area and served over 5,900 meals. The Salvation Army continues to work with the Department of Emergency Management to ensure all needs are met.
