Florida Power & Light’s Post

Check out this story from Charles Burkett!

Disasters, both natural and human-caused, can be devastating for Black and other communities that often exist in marginalized spaces that contend with historical injustice and systemic inequities. Extreme stress and trauma are common experiences post-disaster layering on top of pre-existing challenges. This is why All Healers Mental Health Alliance (AHMHA) exists - to facilitate culturally grounded assistance to people affected by crises from Hurricane Katrina to Superstorm Sandy, to the Flint Water Crisis, to the Buffalo Massacre, to the Mississippi tornadoes, and the Maui Wildfires. AHMHA does its work by collaborating with Black and other communities of color, the Black Resilience Network, FEMA, and other organizations and agencies to identify resources to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery and to promote mental health and emotional well-being, safety, connectedness, and holistic thriving.

"As the weather warms and the days lengthen, the familiar signs of spring begin to emerge. A time of growth and transition, the spring welcomes a mosaic of life and activity, perhaps best exemplified by the return of migratory birds." ✍Kyle Dahlquist, Clean Water Corpsmember / AmeriCorps Member placed at Pennington SWCD https://lnkd.in/gfxi8yfF #GetThingsDone #ClimateCareers #EnvironmentalCareers #ConservationCareers #ServiceYear #CareerExperience #YearOutdoors #ServeOutdoors [Image Description] Two swans in a wetland, text on the side reads "New Blog Post"

🌧️💔 In a heartbreaking turn of events, around 200 tombstones at the Wheeling Mt. Zion Cemetery in West Virginia were washed away by mud and rain during recent powerful storms. The cemetery, which is home to thousands of graves, including 400+ veterans, has been deeply affected. Volunteers and community members are rallying together to assess the damage and help with restoration efforts. ⚠️ Although the physical destruction is extensive, it's reassuring to know that the caskets remain intact. Now, the focus is on recovering and restoring the damaged tombstones to ensure families can locate their loved ones' resting places amidst the aftermath. 📂 This situation highlights the importance of maintaining accurate, secure cemetery records.
