When the Anne Arundel County woman got the email, she says she didn't hesitate. Pasko has been training with the Red Cross for natural disaster relief for about eight months.
"I know that I had the time, and I knew that my work would be very flexible in allowing me to go, so immediately responded,” Pasko said. “We took a 2.5-hour preparation course in addition to all the courses that we took previously to get us ready for this deployment."
Pasko and about 100 other volunteers from the region are traveling more than 1,200 miles to the hardest hit areas of the gulf coast. None of them sure exactly what they will encounter.

ReplyDeleteThanks to you all and Godspeed.
ReplyDeleteTrump removed an Obama-era regulation that would require all new federal buildings and infrastructural projects to take into account floods and build in defensive measures. This required them to take into account current flood zones as well as future flood zones. I.e. Hospitals, schools, universities and military installations as well as any houses rebuilt by the government after a natural disaster. This was revoked for "streamlining" purposes.
