Thanksgiving Day 2012
Driving back to my home that I left over three weeks ago, I pass trees and familiar landscapes that I have seen a thousand times, and see them today like I have seen them for the first time.

Suggested Guidance for Volunteers Working in Rockaway

Thu, 2012-11-22 14:48 — Kathy Gilbeaux

Suggested guidance for Volunteers working in Rockaway:

Indeed, hand washing frequently, not touching their eye, nose our mouth and wearing a dust mask are essential steps out of doors.   Working in an area with high level of mold is particularly dangerous and requires a higher level of respiration protection than just a simple dust mask.   Also, clothing worn inside a home contaminated with significant mold should be doffed (taken off) outside of their homes and not brought inside unless rolled up, bagged and sealed until they can be placed directly into a washing machine to avoid introducing mold spores into their own homes. Respiration protection should not be removed until thee clothes are doffed and secured.     Ideally, those working inside of mold contaminated homes should wear disposable TYVEK outer wear or overalls or something similar, gloves and eye protection that can be doffed outside and put directly into trash bags for disposal.   Then they should shower thoroughly.

Women Organize Online Hurricane Relief Hub By ELIZABETH HAGEN

After days of volunteering across storm-ravaged Brooklyn, Anna Leath found herself standing in a friend’s kitchen in Rockaway. A week had passed since Hurricane Sandy struck, and the basement of the house–home to three generations of her friend’s family–was still flooded with several feet of filthy water.

“She just looked at me and said, ‘I don’t need anything. There are people who need it more than I do,’” Ms. Leath said of her friend. “And you hear that over and over and over again.”
