To Hell with Hurricane Helene As a former #emergencyresponder, I am accustomed to a brittle operating environment; balance can only occur with resources. As the death toll rises, communities in FEMA Region 4 need more resources. For those of us who are not part of organizations in the fight to save lives, We can donate! I am endorsing Samaritan's Purse. Families and people trying to contact loved ones can call 2-1-1 or visit unitedwaync.org to fill out a request form to add them to search and rescue efforts. For those impacted, an application for assistance can be made through disasterassistance.gov or 1-800-621-3362. The experience of Hurricane Helene changed so many communities because who would have ever thought a tropical storm could impact an inland mountain region? We all need to realize that while nature brings chaos and destruction, our collective strength lies in connections with one another. The importance of relationships, empathy, and collaboration highlights the fragility of our environment. As communities continue to weather the storm and upcoming storms that follow, let us embrace the philosophy that balance is vital to resilience. Hurricane Helene is more than just a storm; it catalyzes change, resilience, and unity. Let's unify a mindset to “love thy neighbor” and emerge stronger. We learn that amidst the chaos, we find strength in each other, and in that strength, we discover our true capacity as humans to weather any storm. I hope for the safety of all of our communities and emergency responders. Thank you all for your energy and tireless, selfless service.
