Rebuild: The National Disaster Survivors Assoc.

Rebuild is a national membership association BY and FOR survivors of natural disasters, fighting to win full recovery for ALL of us. Join us!

There’s something powerful about seeing a community come together when families are still working to recover.

On August 14, we joined @WeRebuildUs Disaster Relief + Recovery in Ingram, Texas, to get essential supplies into the hands of families who needed them.

That day, 180 children received diapers, wipes, and backpacks, while 300 families received hygiene kits and hydration support. Altogether, we distributed 4,800 diapers, 28,800 children’s wipes, 192 backpacks, 168 blankets, 640 hygiene kits, and 2,200 DripDrop hydration packets.

These are everyday items, but after a disaster, having them available can take one more worry off a family’s shoulders.

We’re grateful to Rebuild USA Disaster Relief + Recovery for working alongside us and to @baby2baby for helping make this distribution possible.

This is what community looks like. ❤️

For approximately $3,000, they can rent two water trucks to deliver potable water to residents.

Visit https://t.co/IMGeJsogYM and donate to provide relief, set up water distribution centers, and ensure that every family has access to clean drinking water. 4/4

A brutal combination of historic heat, record-shattering drought, and decades of crumbling infrastructure has pushed #PuertoRico into a devastating water emergency. 1/

@WeRebuildUs is directing funds to experienced local organizations. From their experience with Hurricanes Maria and Fiona, these groups have the capacity and deep community roots to address this crisis. Our partners plan to establish water distribution centers. 3/

Hundreds of thousands of Americans in Puerto Rico are now facing scheduled 48-hour water shutoffs as the U.S. territory endures its worst drought in 120 years. Officials warn some residents could be left without running water for up to 72 hours, @lilialuciano reports.

The damage just keeps going. Nothing but leveled homes as far as the eye can see right now in the Indian Trail neighborhood.

It’s hard to put into words the amount of destruction that we’re seeing right now.

This is on N Westgate & Tiffany. #SpokaneComplexFire @kxly4news

Many in Sandy Creek remain stuck in a recovery system that wasn’t designed for them. https://t.co/JtxYDfew4o

MAJOR HEAT DOME: Some of the hottest weather of the summer ahead of July 4th next week in the Ohio Valley and eastern U.S. Ridge of high pressure parks over KY/TN and will bake areas from Pennsylvania to the Carolina's, and out to the Deep South. Some of the highest heat index values each afternoon 7/1 & 7/2 of 110+ likely around Memphis to Paducah.

By the end of the week, the heat dome slides east to blast the Carolina's.

North Carolina will be ground zero for the upcoming "mega heat dome" over the Eastern U.S. into July 4th weekend.

Raleigh to 107°F will melt your face off

271 million Americans at least 90°F on Friday, July 3rd
