The problem in our community is that
individuals are not aware of disasters and are not prepared for them. The
reason for this problem is that people do not think about disaster and are not
educated enough to prepare for them. I had the chance to interview Lou Palm,
the head director of the American Red Cross Disaster Team, he stated
"Since July 2011, two hundred people in the Red Cross Columbia Region were
displaced by home fires”. Overall, the problem in this area is that people are
not informed of the many disasters we may face in Horry County and how to be
prepared.
