Flash Floods Fueling Nationwide Disaster Fatigue
Flash floods have been wreaking havoc across the U.S., from Texas to Kentucky, and all the way to the Northeast. Communities are on a loop of recovery and destruction, as storms hit before they've even finished fixing their homes from the last one. This relentless cycle is causing what's known as disaster fatigue, where people and local resources are stretched thin and stressed out from the constant rebuilding. What does it mean for you? If you live in an area prone to these natural disasters, it might be time to think about how to prepare for the long haul. This could mean beefing up your emergency plan or even considering changes to your home to better handle future storms.
