Synopsis

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Aransas County was the recipient of a direct hit by Hurricane Harvey. Never in our wildest dreams, would we have thought a storm could intensify to a Category 4 level, give our county less than 20 hours notice, and be a direct hit. It had been nearly 50 years since a storm hit our coast. There are no other words than to say … Harvey had its eye on Rockport and Fulton, Texas. The weather conditions aligned to create a perfect storm. This book gives a compelling interface of a community so quickly hit by a storm and lessons learned in the two years following. Each chapter gives stories and examples of how to better grasp the aftermath when your disaster comes. The 10 lessons learned are tools to take back to your community and implement. We live in a different world today. When disasters strike our communities, many unique challenges face community leaders. Learn how the outpouring of love and support from across the nation is extraordinary. Learn how it becomes the disaster within the disaster. The authors are a mother, a 29-year veteran in the Chamber of Commerce industry, and her daughter, a millennial, who together, worked closely during very difficult times of community rebuilding. The book is not intended to be all inclusive to every activity involving the recovery of Aransas County. It’s intent is to enlighten Chamber executives and community leaders with news and information on when the storm or crisis comes to their community. Our desire is to give strength through the experience we encountered.
