But the request ISNT looking for money for post terrorist recovery, its looking for volunteers.
Can you think of ANY reason why a rich and infulential man or women in a ritzy area would volunteer to get dirt under their nails?
That's likely the reason they are searching for volunteers. No one here will volunteer for anything that doesnt get their picture in the social pages of the paper.
Note carefully how it is worded.
The areas on the list have been determined to be most in need of post- disaster assistance
Also - note some of the other cities on the list--i.e. Philly. Very poor sections and very wealthy
IMO the cities/towns are selected due to some intel of impending potential disaster
not weather related
not population related
not due to routine vacancies
I'm a volunteer. Took classes and everything. Not for Red Cross. But I'm here.
