I just moved here in Thanksgiving, ran away from an abusive relationship. I start a new job Wednesday.

National is willing to help us out if we ask but the goal is for each municipality to stand on its own feet.

We've got a got bunch of trained volunteers who are ready and willing to respond to these incidents. They are thrilled by the opportunity.

We will be more reliant on community resources than on resources from across the country.

Providing clothing, cleaning up, providing hot meals, providing shelter - all of that costs.

Financially, we are not prepared right now.

It's going to be a great year for me.
