A few more updated photos of the tornado damages are provided above. The death toll has climbed to over 250 and over 300+ across the Southeastern states. Tuscaloosa, Al is still missing over 300+ residents. Volunteers are still needed. Donations centers are set up through out the affected areas, so please donate anything that you do not need. Some of these areas lost everything, literally. So, jump in and help out as much as you can. If you want to volunteer your time, then go to: http://www.servealabama.gov, http://www.handsonbirmingham.org, or http://www.redcross.org. You can also dial “211″ to volunteer your help with FEMA.

About Bella

I am a candidate for the MPA program at Jacksonville State University. I have 18 yrs. experience in nursing, EMT-B, and military service. Plus, I have 1 yr. experience in hazmat and volunteer firefighting, which was encouraged by a wise professor. This particular professor had worked in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, in CA. I am grateful for the exposure I gained from working with the fire service and the Incident Command System (ICS). ICS is the corner stone to the National Incident Management System (NIMS) (2006), which was implemented post 9/11. NIMS was created to ensure that future all hazard incidents worked within one command system and used one common language to reduce confusion and duplication of resources during disasters. I have been learning about emergency management for the past five years. I am still learning and this blog is intended to share information and to improve my writing skills on the subject matter.
