I’m not a doctor, or positioning myself in any way as an authority on these issues. I am someone who saw the meltdown of one city firsthand after Hurricane Katrina and watched the US government struggle to assist people in need. I was also teased unmercifully for my many years of over reaction every time there was a hurricane near the city. But you only have to be right once. I will be updating this and adding links as I think of more.
