The Best Defense Against a Hurricane is Community (CityLab) + Update from Wilmington, NC

Mebane, so glad to  know that you are well and your community is coming together to help each other through this. My thoughts are with you and everyone else in the area affected by Florence as you continue to put your community back together and heal from the loss. 

Mebane:

Thank you for taking the time to update us. Please continue to do so long after headlines change. Unfortunately, other communities will deal with widespread loss, displacement, and hardship. We can all learn from each other what does and doesn’t help, what is and isn’t needed. 

I’m sorry you are all going through so much! I’m glad the community is rallying. 

Watmly, cissy

Mebane,
Thanks so much for sharing how hurricane Florence impacted your communities. 
When fires gripped our area nearly a year ago - the outpouring of love and support for neighbors and strangers alike was aw-inspiring.  Having a traumatic shared experience of this scale cuts across all boundaries and folks come together to offer support and accept assistance. 
As a result of the local fires, Sonoma County ACEs Connection adapted their site to include "Fire Resiliency Resources".

Thinking of you Mebane! I know others in NC ACEs Connection communities, and elsewhere, are too. 

Please know we are thinking about your all in Wilmington and our thoughts are with you all.  I hope you can support each other at this time of great need - it sure sounds like that is happening.
