Who could have or would have thought that 19 months after Superstorm Sandy that the rebuilding would still be needed..... Certainly not me, and if you live anywhere that was not impacted by the storm I am sure you have not really heard much about the continuing needs of the communities that were hardest hit by this storm.
I can personally say that prior to this storm I never thought about communities that were hit hard by storms- whether they be hurricanes, tornadoes, mudslides or other disasters. Since this event my heart cries and bleeds with sympathy and a new level of understanding of what is needed at the local, regional, state and federal levels to assist those impacted by any major event.
People who are on the cusp struggle when times are not tough. Add a catastrophe to the mix and they fall into and through the cracks in ways that are difficult to understand.
Please consider increasing your local activism!!!
