Keeping Disasters in the Spotlight As communities from Texas to Vermont continue to grapple with the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, it’s crucial to remember that the journey to recovery is far from over. While our country has shown incredible solidarity in supporting those affected, we face an ongoing challenge with disaster fatigue. First Responders that deploy out to manage disasters like this on down to the volunteer organizations our country has relied on to show up and get people started on their way to recovery have been operating at an extremely high operational tempo. With billion-dollar disasters becoming more frequent, it’s easy for these events to fade from the news cycle, leaving survivors to struggle in silence. But there are several ways you can help: 1. Volunteer Your Time: If possible, lend a hand in person. Your presence can make a world of difference to those in need. 2. Donate: If you can’t be there physically, consider making a financial contribution. Every dollar helps fuel recovery efforts and supports those who can go in person. 3. Raise Awareness: When you can’t volunteer or donate, you can still play a vital role by keeping these events in the news cycle. Share stories, updates, and information to ensure that disaster survivors get the attention and support they need. 4. Support your First Responders: First Responders need your moral, financial, and community support. The emotional and physical toll it takes to help people and communities when they are severely effected by disasters is hard. It is hard on your body and your soul. Let’s stay committed to shining a light on these crises and ensuring that no one is left behind. Together, we can help rebuild lives and communities. 💪 #TeamRubicon #AHIMTA #DisasterRelief #HurricaneBeryl #SupportSurvivors #StayEngaged #FirstResponders #DisasterResponse #FEMA #ITDRC
