Ground Force Humanitarian Aid

Y’all, we are so excited to share some big news! Our founder, Rob, has been invited to the Amazon AWS Imagine Conference at Amazon HQ2 in Arlington, VA this Wednesday, March 26th — and he’ll be in the same room as the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall who is delivering the keynote speech! Rob will be there representing all of us — every neighbor, every volunteer, and every community that steps up after storms and disasters. He’ll be sharing how everyday folks (just like you and me) are making a real difference when they have the right tools, like the ones we’ve built on stability.org. This journey hasn’t been easy — it’s been a labor of love and faith by Rob and our whole team at GFHA. But when good people come together with heart and purpose, we can move mountains. Let’s cheer Rob on as he takes our message — neighbors helping neighbors — all the way to Amazon! #Proud #SouthernStrong #WomenWhoLead #CajunNavy #CommunityMatters #FaithInAction #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #GroundForce #GFHA

Watch Rob discuss how social technology is impacting natural disasters. Arguably the premier thought leader on boots on the ground disaster response and how technology is impacting efforts to respond Rob goes in deep on how he became involved and how his decades long background in software is being utilized today.

The size of the response is never equal to the scale of the disaster. So we've developed a platform to empower disaster ready communities. Stability.org.

Today, Rachel and Pam were making tool deliveries to various applicants. Vetting applicants to receive these tools is an important part of the process. We have been intrusted with handing them out and they need to go to people that actually need them. While on their deliveries, the ladies also bring a bucket of various supplies just in case the person requesting a tool doesn't really need one when they arrive. They can still leave supplies behind while ensuring the more expensive tools land with those who will use them. This was the case today, when they arrived at a well groomed home that clearly did not need the chainsaw that was requested. As they are driving away, they noticed a crew of 5 volunteers working feverishly with one saw and very little equipment on a gigantic tree across another homeowners bridge. Ground Force Humanitarian Aid team members Pam and Rachel stopped and offered these boys the new fantastic Husqvarna Group 20 inch saw that was otherwise destined to sit in a garage. Can we get a "May The Ground Force Be With You!" on the comments if you appreciate the careful attention to detail our team is taking to ensure your donations go right where intended. ??

Placed another family into an RV today.

These are the moments where we remember why we do this. A boy watches in anticipation after we bought and delivered a new fridge to his a home in North Carolina today. One of three children to a single mom, his room also flooded after a limb came through the ceiling. His carpet has been ripped out which exposed buckled flooring which the team will tackle and replace this week. His home has holes across multiple rooms exposing the young family to the wet and cold weather and even animals and rodents coming into the home seeking warmth and shelter. We have a lot to do still. Going into the 6th week here, there is still a tremendous amount of work to get done. All of us together are making a difference, but we are not done. Donate at GoCajunNavy.org/donate to support us.

The Emergency Management field is not cut out for everyone but those that love it and stay the course are hard to find. Out in the western North Carolina disaster space today I was able to connect with Jennifer Landry, COSS , one of my LinkedIn followers and witnessed how hard she worked and enjoyed what she is doing out here as part of the team of Ground Force Humanitarian Aid . Jennifer is using her experience as a Planner coordinator and writing work tickets to help disaster survivors in need of assistance. GFHA is based at the Walmart parking lot in Mitchell County. Ground Force HA is fortunate to have her and Jennifer would be great addition to any Emergency Management team! Keep up the great work Jennifer and safe travels! #TropicalStormHelene
