Bahama rescue

two articles from the Miami Herald remind us that when there is a disaster, many people, both government and locals, come to help.

The USCoast Guard is there, but the city of Miami cut thru the red tape of FEMA to send rescuers under the guise of being "fire fighters'. LINK

and a second article about various rescue workers going to help.

A container ship from the Betty K Agencies, the largest shipper operating between Miami and the Bahamas, left the river at midafternoon. It was loaded with 600 tons of aid, including large portable generators and food that doesn’t require cooking stacked in pallets, said Horacio Stuart Aguirre, chairman of the Miami River Commission, a quasi-governmental agency that is helping coordinate the relief operation with the Miami River Marine Group, a commercial association.

The supplies represent the efforts of dozens of volunteers, charities and government and religious organizations, including Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami, that began collecting and packing donations on Monday.

there are a lot more articles out there about this.

just a reminder that there is good news out there.
