Hurricane Laura, one of the most devastating hurricanes in 2020, damaged roughly 130,000 homes. From a termite’s perspective, those are rookie numbers. Termites damage over 600,000 homes per year! So make sure your home is protected from threats from outside and within. #BrezdenPestControl #PestControl #SanLuisObispo #SLO #PasoRobles #SLOCounty #Termite #TermitePestControl #TermiteInspection

***CAUTION, EMERGENCY MANAGER DORK MODE*** I reviewed a situation report yesterday by Mercy Chefs for #HurricaneBeryl response. They are serving in multiple islands of the #Caribbean and in the City of Houston and across Harris County, Texas. So far, 65,000 meals + in Texas. A donated value of over $650,000 just in meals alone. (value averaged for federal meal rate) This is on top of countless disasters they have responded to across the country this year and it simply amazes me and reminds me to be thankful to those who support them financially as well as by volunteering. As an emergency manager it is easy to take for granted the work of nonprofits and imagine endless funding supply and everything comes for free. The truth is, for many nonprofits, donor fatigue and overwhelming seasons of disaster response can have a devastating impact on their ability to respond to the next disaster. While they don't charge for their service, there are avenues that #EmergencyManagement can pursue to help sustain their response. Unfortunately, many local emergency managers either aren't aware of the funding through Public Assistance, Cat B or they report to States and regions that discourage it under the guise of "how dare they ask for reimbursement." (this is more often the rule than the exception) International Association of Emergency Managers , National Emergency Management Association To build your local mass care capability, you MUST review the PAPPG guidance (Version 5 coming soon) to help you and your Finance Admin team leverage Cat B to ensure your local response isn't contingent on how a disaster season has impacted your reliable partners. Whether a local expense or a reimbursable one, you will never regret supporting nonprofits that are caring for your residents. Usually people having water and food is the last thing on your radar, but the first thing to get you hear at your after-action.

"Essential lessons remain consistent while new individuals continue to learn them." ~no formal attribution available Mass Care is often wrought with mistakes and "wish I would have known that" but rest assured, in the words of #BareNakedLadies Song, "Its All Been Done" Thanks to ALL the nonprofits AND their donors for carrying this burden for communities that desperately need your support.

Twenty-five years ago, Hurricane Mitch struck Central America, devastating communities across Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. As the deadliest Atlantic hurricane in 200 years, Mitch’s damage was immense. Intense rain and heavy flooding damaged homes and crops and lead to thousands of lives lost and millions forever changed. #Mitch continued its path of destruction into the #FloridaKeys and Naples, making landfall as a storm on November 5, 1998. Today, we remember all those who were affected by Mitch’s extensive devastation. #TeamIEM stands ready to help communities become better prepared and rebuild stronger to create a safe, secure and resilient world. #emergencymanagement #resilience #hurricaneseason #disasterpreparation #disasterresponse #disasterrecovery #safesecureresilient #HurricaneMitch
