Today we'll begin posting #DisasterRecoveryTips for #IceStorm2021 Survivors: 1/x Every disaster causes unique damages to every person.
To start your recovery process, you need to 1st document all your damage BEFORE you begin cleaning up, whether you have insurance or not. #TX#LA
#DisasterRecoveryTips 2/x It’s important you document your damage carefully with photos & videos first, then begin PLANNING your clean up process. Insurers and FEMA have their own requirements when filing for claims or assistance. See steps below: #TX#PortAransas#CorpusChristi
#DisasterRecoveryTips
#4/x Now that you have pics/video you will need to create a list of your damaged property, for your home/renters insurance company. Make sure you get a list of claim filing requirements and steps to follow from your insurer. #TX: #ELPaso#Houston#Dallas
5/x - 77 #Texas counties have been approved for Individual Assistance which means if your home sustained damage you may apply for disaster assistance from FEMA. Below is a checklist of what you’ll need to start that process. #LA#TX: #FortWorth#Midland#SanAntonio#Palacios
Please share the above 🧵#DisasterRecoveryTips with any #Texas#Louisiana friends who might need help with the disaster assistance process. We'll add more tips tomorrow once we review the material to ensure the process still applies in 2021.
Thank you for all you

1/This news of (a)food supply chain disruptions & (b)worker infections at meat processing plants have prompted people to ask if the food supply chain is (a)secure and (b)safe. Two very important topics we’ll tackle separately in the thread below. We’ll begin with the Supply Chain
2/ There are currently several challenges to the supply chain as the linked article points out: 1. Virus outbreaks at food plants are triggering plant closures 2. Agricultural need of guest workers while undergoing a potential wage cut & visa issues
3/ Supply chain mismatches: food sold in bulk to schools/restaurants have no distribution pipeline to supermarkets 4. Increased food insecurity due to job loss of 5. Delivery capacity: lack of truck drivers/distribution to point of point. #COVID19
