152. Glad to see you made it without too much damage!

We’ll leave the discussion regarding the trauma for another day, For those that do not know, the trauma of going through these extreme weather events is epic. Even if you come through it without massive damage to your property, it inflicts invisible scars on your psyche. Each event adds to the trauma. It accumulates and while teaching you survival strategies, it also takes a bit of your heart and soul. You get and you give.

Please keep informing your friends here at DU about the needs of the people in Jamaica. The help they’ll need is going to last for a long time. People tend to forget and move on to the next disaster. Keep reminding us not to forget that the disaster in Jamaica continues long after the cameras and satellite trucks leave.
