How to get ready for the next natural disaster by organizing and getting training.

It seems every time we have a disaster we are left with many manageable issues that just need people to rally a little bit and help clear up debris. Waiting for our already over stressed utility workers to get it done results in weeks long processes which could be fixed with the efforts of some well coordinated volunteers.

From rescues to road clearing, we need to get ready for the next hurricane or wind storm. Find your neighbors that are able to help, find who has a chainsaw. Make a pact to help each other in case of emergency, clear each others homes, then clear the streets. Just getting the fallen trees moved to the side can be the difference of emergency crews helping those who are in dire need.

Waiting for our overburdened utility workers to do it is frustrating, and ultimately can be dangerous.
