Hello, this is Jennifer Matterese, and before we get started 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 GoFundMe linked through the podcast's Facebook

page. I will be accepting requests for disasters to cover on the podcast as soon as I can get to them.

Normally when it comes to requests, I do them when and if I can, but this will push your request

to the front of the line, and I will try to get them done as soon as possible. This episode is

one of those requests, and I'd like to thank Tracy for the suggestion and the donation, and my apologies

for the lateness. If you'd like to help support the podcast as usual, you can do so with a one-time

donation through PayPal at disaster area at mail.com or on a per episode basis through Patreon

at www. patreon.com slash disaster area podcast. You can also follow the

podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast and on Twitter and Instagram at Disaster Area Pod.

And please think about rating and reviewing the podcast on iTunes or whichever other podcast app you might listen to us on.

And as always, the sources for each new episode can be found at disasterareapodcast.wordpress.com.

With that taken care of, thank you very much for listening and welcome to disaster area.

Episode 75, Care Teams

This episode is going to be a little different than other episodes.

Usually I pick a disaster, or somebody else picks the disaster,

I do a whole bunch of research, and I tell you all about it. But this time I'm going to focus on

another aspect of disasters, specifically those who help others when they need it the most.

Imagine you are one of the lucky survivors of the sinking of the Titanic

early on the morning of April 15, 1912.

Maybe you're one of the few fortunate third-class passengers to make it on board a lifeboat.
