in 2022, Chongqing experienced devastating wildfires. Local govt officials set up volunteer recruitment areas where they asked for manpower, money, and supplies including via social media.
Within minutes of announcing shortages, local citizens donated water, energy drinks, medicine. Local dirtbikers banded together to form supply trains for 5,000 emergency personnel in the hills. No one died and only 1,500 were evacuated.
the message for LA is, citizens of LA, you can save your city by banding together for mass action. Set up supply chains with your local FD. Coordinate with govt officials to help with evacuations and get evacuees what they need.
Dirt bikers, maybe the firefighters in the hills could use a red bull?
A few months after the wildfires, the local Communist Youth League made commemorative medals and certificates to reward and remind people of how they defeated an unprecedented disaster.
Even local dirt bike hooligans can make a difference
@poppyhaze and get CERT certification and anything else afterwards.
After seeing the hurricanes, I decided to get my certification and try to join up with disaster response.
