Forest fires in NWO have devastated many communities and are forcing several evacuations, loss of homes & camps, and physical & emotional distress. Navigating uncertainty during crisis and public panic can be incredibly overwhelming and disorienting. Here are a few ways to manage reactions and support your neighbours during this incredibly difficult time - oh, and a quick note at the end for people in positions of leadership who are responsible for actionable support, emergency planning, and budget cuts: institutional trust in our politicians & other leaders is earned or destroyed in moments like these. Coordination of resources and communication & directives, when done effectively, supports our collective action and makes communities more resilient and better able to heal during and after. Are you a part of the community or above the community?
