Emergency Disaster Services (EDS ) volunteers for The Salvation Army distribute food and cleaning supplies in Calimano, Guayama, Puerto Rico, after Hurricane Fiona last September. “Disaster relief is always about the long game,” said Bob Myers, EDS director for The Salvation Army’s USA Eastern Territory. “It’s about helping people to get their houses and their communities rebuilt. It’s also about providing long-term emotional and spiritual care to disaster survivors as much as we can, because sometimes the recovery on the inside can be harder than the recovery on the outside.”
