I wanted to start a thread on what we can learn from the recent hurricanes. I want to be respectful of what is going on right now and will happen with Irma. Many people look at Katrina as a huge learning point and now that I am awake, I want to keep tabs on what i can learn from things.
Just post things you learn from what you know.
Thanks!
I am listening to a podcast of a guy went down to help.
Stuff he needed:
The staples food, water shelter are all issues
Tarps and rope
gas
capable vehicle
Bleach a need (mold and stuff)
Chain saw
Some lessons
Day 1 After: People were friendly and easy to get along with and helpful.
Day 2 After: Security became an issue (no huge incident, but he noticed day 2 that there was a change in the people). People be came less friendly, and the national guard was then carrying rifles with mags and were more tense.
Many of the relief organizations were disorganized and bound by procedure and process.
