I don't readily know an answer as myriad variables are at play. Two things I do know, though, are that (a) it's not acceptable to let an entire region of the country hollow out, in large part just because it's rural, and (b) doubling down on folksy culture to support tourism isn't THE answer.

Definitely an interesting piece. Grist, the Daily Yonder, and AppVoices have produced some interesting (to read) and engaging work on Helene - and the recent KY tornadoes. Good stuff!

I've always been supportive of the decisions young folks make w/ respect to their vocation. It's the messaging of these things that gets under my skin. No nuance. No "weigh options." No "have a plan."
Very much to your point. It's "what you should do" or a cash grab - all benefit, no risk.

As a consultant, it was natural to build on my frequent push for clients & stakeholders to build networks. To share #leadership of the effort.
To truly operationalize the whole community.

Years ago, when the focus (rightly) turned to functional & access needs populations, there was a push within emergency mgmt. to "inventory" all the folks with potential needs.
My refrain at that time was to "find the service providers."
