2. Answering the Call
Brenda McNaughton didn’t know that her life would
change on April 27, 2011. Or that she would begin to
overcome her tragedy by helping others.
Brenda lost her home and possessions to the terrible storm
system that hit Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia that
spring.
Fortunately, Brenda and her family received emergency
assistance within hours of the tornado hitting, and they
began to rebuild their lives.
About a week after the storm hit, Brenda’s boss , Mike
Steely, told her that her company, Cold Chain
Transportation was going to help Convoy of Hope – an
event arranged by ALAN to deliver disaster supplies to a
nearby community.
Brenda and Cold Chain Transportation were eager to lend
a hand.
“I really wanted to make the delivery. I was tearing up
when Mike asked me,” Brenda said. “I was so grateful to
everyone who helped me. It was my turn to give.”
You and your business can help victims of disaster, too. By
supporting ALAN, you will help restore communities – its
people and businesses.

5. Keeping Business in Business
Keeping business in business after a disaster is one of the first steps to
rebuilding a community.
ALAN’s work promotes greater situational awareness as to road closures,
curfews, power supplies and communications as well as partnerships
and cooperative effort that can keep businesses operating.
Regardless of size, businesses can improve their survivability and
resilience through trusted relationships with other businesses,
government, and with nonprofit relief groups.
Your support helps improve collaboration and information sharing and
will help keep employees safe, keep business operating after a disaster
and will enhance the resilience of the communities businesses serve.
