UPDATE 
Our team is continuing to provide much-needed supplies and assistance to affected communities. We have water, food, household supplies, diapers, formula, and more available for pickup by anyone in need. If you know of neighbors, loved ones, or communities in need of supplies like these, come by and we'll load you up with the resources you need to help those you know.

1. Phase One: Search, Rescue, and Recovery
This phase occurs immediately after a disaster strikes. It focuses on locating and rescuing survivors, providing immediate medical aid, and recovering those who are injured or deceased. First responders, emergency teams, and volunteers work to save lives and stabilize the situation.

2. Phase Two: Relief
In this phase, the focus shifts to meeting basic needs like food, water, shelter, and medical care for survivors. Relief efforts help maintain safety and provide comfort while addressing urgent necessities. It involves setting up temporary shelters, distributing supplies, and providing emotional support to those affected.

3. Phase Three: Mucking Out and Clean Up
This phase involves the physical cleanup of the disaster-affected areas. It includes removing debris, clearing damaged structures, and cleaning out homes and buildings. Volunteers, community members, and recovery teams help to make the area habitable again, setting the stage for rebuilding and longer-term recovery efforts.

For clean up help, just text the word RELIEF to 97000.
