Ground Force Humanitarian Aid

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

I worked with Jennifer Landry, COSS for many years! She was my Emergency Planner at a county Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. She is an absolute professional, no task is too small or large for her to tackle. Ground Force Humanitarian Aid is truly lucky to have such an experienced Emergency Manager working for them!
