   So, I wanna talk about the recent Hurricanes.

   NO!!!!! Not like that. No political stuff.

   What I actually want to talk about is Hurricane and Disaster Relief.

   Because a lot of the way that we look at providing relief, while well-intentioned, is actually kind of backwards.

   The best way I can describe our approach to relief is reactionary. We typically, as a people, wait until there's a big disaster and then dump a deluge of donations on the affected areas. Again, well-intentioned, but this has consequences.

   Let's take one example quick: Donating Blood. That is easily one of if not the most frequent response to disaster relief.

   Donating blood is great, and I absolutely encourage people to do it. But when everybody rushes to do it for disaster relief, a lot of it actually ends up being wasted.
