Important to do this. In Santa Barbara, after our catastrophic fire in 2017 followed by a worse mudslide in early 2018, a local man started the Bucket Brigade, volunteers dug out houses filled with mud. That group has now started another team of "second responders:" volunteers who will help first responders in search, rescue and recovery. When I asked a local minister what she learned from these events, she replied, "To give the fire marshell keys to my church."
