Imagine yourself in their shoes.

I have lived in Utah my entire life and have been fortunate enough to never experience a natural disaster. I wasn’t even in town for that tornado that hit in 1999 because I was in Arizona. Trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who experienced Hurricane Katrina is very hard for me because I cannot imagine losing everything, but it’s something I think about almost every day. What if I left my room and when I came back, everything I ever had was gone forever? Not only did people lose their possessions and their homes, but many also lost loved ones. Possessions and homes can be replaced, but loved ones cannot. They were in no way prepared for that, but what makes it even worse was that the government wasn’t prepared either. They were unorganized and they were slow. I don’t know about anyone else, but when that supposed massive earthquake hits Utah, I want to know that I’ll be taken care of and not left hanging. It makes you wonder who really has your back.
