"What I want to say is that we cannot see these regional ecological crises as disconnected from us. We cannot turn our heads away and say "that's happening in the South" any more than we can ignore wild fire season in California or tornadoes in the midwest. Appalachia is "not supposed" to get drowned by hurricanes. Twenty years ago something like this would have seemed an unthinkable disaster; in 2024 it happens with a storm that builds strength in a matter of hours. These kind of disasters are more and more frequent, less and less predictable, and will only become more so as climate change accelerates."

"What would you want someone to do if your house had been flooded? What would you want to see happen if you were in need of immediate help, if you felt overwhelmed and trapped? Keep an eye out for local mutual aid groups and funds in the areas effected, and watch for calls for start watching for calls-to-action or requests for assistance or need. For Asheville, pay attention to Final Straw Radio, The Asheville Blade and Firestorm Books."
