Hummingly

Innovation for the future of disaster response—amazing to see Hummingly's approach turning research and disaster lessons into practical tools and transformative learning experiences showcased here!

In the early morning of September 14, a fire tore through downtown Oxford in Pennsylvania, destroying heritage buildings and displacing 26 families. While this tragedy may not have hit the national headlines, its impact on those who lost their homes is no less significant. The need for ongoing resources and community care remains vital for those rebuilding their lives. We recently received a lovely note and photo from Melissa (DeLong) Pacella at SILO - a local non-profit walking alongside these households as they navigate recovery; many with English as their second language. Hummingly’s Cards for Calamity were used in an event with those impacted, helping to spark sharing and healing. “It was a nice event. Having the cards in Spanish was a huge help - most people were Spanish speaking. I spread Spanish and English cards on the tables and people spoke up and responded to a card of their choice. It also helped people acknowledge past trauma. All good results. Thank you again for having this translated into Spanish.” Hosting a ‘disastrous dinner with a difference’, using the Cards for Calamity, is an incredibly powerful way to support community conversations and healing for those impacted by disaster. The cards are also a helpful way to support great local organizations who hold the deep connections with their communities and those affected. It’s people like Melissa and organizations like SILO that are doing the important work with communities and we’re proud to support. #cardsforcalamity #disasterrecovery #supportinglocal #equitablerecovery

End of year events are a great way to reflect and connect, and we love to see our Doing Well cards in play! Thanks to the team from the School of Psychology at Universidad de Monterrey in Mexico for sending us through a photo of our Spanish sets in action. Fun!
