Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, I'd just like to take care of the usual housekeeping.

If you've been wanting to hear a particular disaster on the podcast, you can do so for a $25 or more donation to the podcast's PayPal account at disaster area at mail.com.

Just add the name of the disaster you'd like me to cover to the notes on the donation and

I'll add it to the list.

Just please bear with me.

I am really, really bad about responding to messages, but I do get your messages and I do

add your requests to the list.

And if you made a request through Patreon and you're a little confused about sending

messages or anything like that, you can always

just send your request to that email address as well.

Now, normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can, but this will mean

I will definitely cover the topic of your request as soon as I can finish all of the research

for it and write it up.

So please bear with me, especially if it's a bigger disaster, it may take me a little

longer. If it is a more recent disaster, I may want to wait a little bit just to kind of make

sure that I get some sort of resolution. If it's a smaller disaster, it may take me a little bit

longer to kind of get all of the source materials together. So bear with me, be patient.

I will cover your request. It may just take me a little bit. The subject from this particular

episode was requested by someone whose name I unfortunately couldn't find when I was writing

this script, but I would like to thank them for the request

and for the donation. Now, if you'd like to help support the podcast in another way, you can do so

with a one-time donation through PayPal at Disaster Area at mail.com or on a per-episode basis
