<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for this post, Jason - </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We only lost power for two days as well and had minor tree issues.
And I have been and am so worried about people who might be stuck in homes or
apartments without enough food or water and resources. I am eager to know
what we can do to really help. Personally and professionally.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To the extent I can help through Rate It Green in terms of hosting
information exchange and conversations about rebuilding, however specific they
need to be by topic or community, count me in for the effort. I would
consider adding features I might not have planned yet if it can
help. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Personally, I am interested in helping directly as opportunities arise and
individuals can find ways to be helpful and effective. Maybe we can
organize donations of time and services, whether people donate planning help, or
on site expertise or labor, or are willing to just go help in time with specific
rebuilding projects. I'd go put in some time working on a building in
person. I think this opportunity is also going to exist for some
time. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe in this rebuilding, there are both environmental opportunities to do
better at the same time we can offer some support for people who might already
need work and who might need work now as a result of this disruption and
damage. This is really a time for the triple bottom
line. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe Habitat can get involved, since I know they have experience in
organizing large numbers of volunteers. Just a thought. Who out
there knows what green and other volunteer efforts are in progress? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Allison</DIV>

<DIV>We were lucky enough, here in Maryland, to only be down for 2 days
from</DIV>
<DIV>Sandy with no damage. But we are following an inquiry about helping
the</DIV>
<DIV>rebuilding process in NJ and NY so that as families rebuild they do it
with</DIV>
<DIV>a priority on green attributes and, in the shadow of Katrina &
?passive</DIV>
<DIV>survivability?, to be prepared for the next time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Given that both NY Governor Cuomo and mayor Bloomberg have both
pegged</DIV>
<DIV>climate change on Sandy and said they expect this to happen again, there?s
a</DIV>
<DIV>window to move people into proaction.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We would welcome any info, advice, leads for organizations,
associations,</DIV>
<DIV>chapters, NGOs, and agencies to talk to, and other thoughts relating to
the</DIV>
<DIV>state of the building and remodeling markets, gauging the absorption
of</DIV>
<DIV>green, potholes and barriers, how permitting works, the use of unions
and</DIV>
<DIV>subcontractors, and other concerns on the ground that can
make-or-break</DIV>
<DIV>success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thx,</DIV>
