Our world today is inundated with one disaster after another. For over the past two years we have lived through a world-wide pandemic due to the SARS-Co-V-2, a severe acute respiratory syndrome due to a novel (new) coronavirus, nicknamed COVID-19, which has taken over six million lives worldwide (Kaiser Family Foundation [KFF], 2022). Disasters, unexpected events that cause widespread, devastating destruction (Nies & McEwen, 2019) are either man-made or arise from natural means. They cause serious disruptions to community functions and often exceed a community’s capacity to cope and use their own resources.
