🛠️Out West, our tools are helping communities prepare for a safer future!🌿 Since September, our West Coast Territory Manager, Art Garciacano, has been supporting a series of community cleanup events in Altadena, CA, where volunteers are rolling up their sleeves to clear brush and overgrown vegetation that can increase wildfire risk.🔥🧑‍🚒 As this need grew, ToolBank Disaster Services established a satellite location in Altadena to get essential tools and equipment into the hands of the people doing this important work. With resources closer to the community, we can better support ongoing cleanup efforts and help neighbors take action to build a safer, more resilient Altadena.🏘️🤝 We’re grateful to Art and all the community partners working together to support recovery and wildfire preparedness. When communities have the tools they need, incredible things happen!🧰🛠️ 📸 Take a look at these photos from a recent cleanup event with ToolBank tools and our new Altadena satellite location! #toolbank #toolsforchange #altadena #volunteer #wildfires #disasterpreparedness

🌀THE STORM HAS PASSED, BUT THE DANGERS HAVEN’T.🛠️ ToolBank Disaster Services Director Bill Hess is in Milton, FL, teaming up with @faithresponders to get tools into the hands of volunteers working hard to clean up after Hurricane Isaias.💪 But while flying his drone in the area, Bill came across a fire caused by a leaking generator. Thankfully, first responders extinguished it before it spread to nearby structures.🔥🙏 This is an important reminder that even after the winds die down, serious hazards can remain. As communities begin cleanup and recovery, please take extra precautions to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbors. ⚠️ POST-HURRICANE SAFETY REMINDERS 🔌Generator safety: Never operate a generator indoors, in a garage, or near windows and doors. Keep it outdoors at least 20 feet from your home, and never refuel it while running or hot. Check for fuel leaks before use. ⚡Downed power lines: Stay far away from fallen wires and anything touching them. Assume every downed line is energized and report it to your utility company or emergency services. 🌳Fallen trees and debris: Watch for unstable trees, hanging branches, nails, broken glass, and other sharp objects. Leave dangerous tree removal to trained professionals. 🌊Floodwater: Avoid flooded roads and standing water, which may conceal hazards or contain sewage and other contaminants. Never drive through floodwaters. 🧤Protect yourself during cleanup: Wear sturdy, closed-toe boots, heavy-duty gloves, eye protection, and other appropriate protective equipment. Take breaks and stay hydrated. 🧹Mold and contaminated materials: Use appropriate protection when handling wet materials, and avoid disturbing suspected asbestos or other hazardous substances. ToolBank is proud to work alongside partners like Faith Responders to support volunteers and communities through recovery. Our tools help people get to work safely.🦺🧤🥽 Stay alert, follow local emergency guidance, and remember that recovery is a marathon, not a sprint.🛠️💙 #toolbank #toolsforchange #toolsforhope #disasterservices #hurricaneisaias #milton #florida #safetytips #faithresponders

🪣800 DISASTER-RELIEF BUCKETS. ONE COMMUNITY. A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP.🌀💙 Milton, FL, is facing extensive cleanup following Hurricane Isaias, with downed trees and debris impacting the community. Today, ToolBank Disaster Services is teaming up with @catholiccharitiesnwfl to help residents take the next step toward recovery. ToolBank Disaster Services Director Bill Hess joined Matthew Knee, President & CEO of Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida, to highlight today's distribution of 800 @Grainger disaster-relief buckets at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Milton.🛠️🪣 Packed with essential cleanup supplies and tools, these buckets will help residents tackle debris and begin putting their communities back together. As Catholic Charities approaches its 100th anniversary, Matthew shared an important reminder: approximately 90% of the people they serve are non-Catholic. Their services are for everyone, and all are welcome!🙏❤️ This is what disaster recovery looks like: organizations coming together, sharing resources, and meeting communities where they are. No single organization can do it alone, but through strong partnerships, we can get critical supplies into the hands of people who need them most. A HUGE THANK YOU to Grainger for providing these 800 disaster-relief buckets and to Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida for helping connect these resources with Milton residents. Your partnership is helping turn preparation into action and compassion into community recovery!💪 When disaster strikes, partnerships make the difference. ToolBank Disaster Services is proud to help communities recover, one tool and one helping hand at a time.🛠️💙 #toolbank #toolsforchange #toolsforhope #disasterservices #hurricaneisaias #milton #florida #teamgrainger #catholiccharities
