Hurrican Harvey: Rescue to Restoration: How One City Came Together To Fight The Flood Of The Century

Hurricane Harvey was a 1,000 year event for southeast Texas. In west Houston over 14,000 homes were flooded and tens of thousands were displaced. This is the true story of how one community came together to fight Harvey with grit and determination. For three months I was involved in water rescues, coordinated boats in rescue operations, helped set up a High School as a shelter, organized evacuation sites for flood victims coming out of the water, assisted in the development of housing and supply centers for displaced neighbors, organized and managed teams doing clean up, and developed systems and structures to assist impacted neighbors in the restoration of their home. Hurricane Harvey: Rescue to Restoration is autobiographical and chronological and is written in a warm, compelling voice. It is an awesome tool for those who lived through Harvey to process their experience. Anyone working in disaster relief will find incredible help in developing assistance structures in future flood related disasters. Leaders of all kinds will learn invaluable lessons for effective leadership. Service organizations and churches that want to make a difference when disaster strikes will find the book an incredible resource. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from the most costly and deadly hurricane to strike Texas in the last 100 years!
