If your family and neighbors are doing well and don't need any help, you may wonder how you can help your wider community. If you're in the US, please consider joining your local Community Emergency Response Team. The training is free (even if you don't want to join the team, the training is worthwhile) and I've found being on my local team just for the last seven months to be very rewarding.
