After the tornado, people from all over the area headed straight to the damaged resort to help. And we needed the help. But keeping track of people and deploying them is not as easy as it sounds. We were conducting hasty searches in multiple locations. On the far side of the blocked road, they didn’t have nearly enough manpower. On our side, we had lots of volunteers but very few people to prioritize needs and manage the efforts. Some volunteers showed up with chainsaws and hard hats, but others were not dressed for conditions or were physically unable to clamber through debris on a hot summer day. And I know many of them were frustrated at standing around waiting for assignments.
