We're watching, praying and hoping for the best for Jamaica with Hurricane Melissa. Unfortunately, it's not looking very good at all. Some areas are expecting over 5 FEET of rain in mountainous areas with elevations over 7,000 feet. With average yearly rainfall of around 90", they'll be receiving nearly 11 months of rainfall in 18 hours. Luckily, the storm is fairly compact (Irma was almost double the size), but with winds nearing 160mph, it will change the landscape as we know it. #neighborshelpingneighbors #HurricaneStrong #HurricaneRelief #DisasterResponse #community #volunteering #TogetherWeHelp #NextLevelDisasterRelief #ittakesavillage #volunteer #Humanitarian #humanitarian #disaster #disasterrelief #communitysupport #volunteers #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit (fb)

Whether you live in the mountains of NC or the Piedmont, winter weather is still a thing. Be proactive and ready your home and vehicles for the potential of being stuck in colder weather. A little preparedness ahead of winter weather can potentially save your life. Be safe and stay aware of your ever changing weather conditions. If you’ve prepared for a hurricane, you’re pretty much prepared for winter weather. Just add some blankets or warmer clothing and you’ll be set. #nextleveldisasterrelief #PreparednessStartsAtHome #ncvolunteer #communitysupport #StrongerTogether (fb)
